Emma Donoghue Quote

We're standing on the deck that's all wooden like the deck of a ship. There's fuzz on it, little bundles. Grandma says it's some kind of pollen from a tree.Which one? I'm staring up at all the differents.Can't help you there, I'm afraid.In Room we knowed what everything was called but in the world there's so much, persons don't even know the names.
