I’m currently reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver and imagine my surprise when I found out that the protagonist has my name! I have never heard about any Magdalena in any American novel; only foreign equivalents of the name.
“Take it from me: If you hear the past speaking to you, feel it tugging at your back and running its fingers up your spine, the best thing to do ---the only thing---is run.”
—Magdalena “Lena” Ella Haloway Tiddle (Delirium, Lauren Oliver)
