Chapter 13 Quotes
I looked at her through the haze of smoke. Office gossip was that she had made her way up the corporate ladder by treading on the backs of more young women than you could count, and then, once she was through the glass ceiling, pulling the ladder up behind her […] But somehow, I couldn’t quite square [Rowan’s] remarks with the woman standing in front of me. I knew at least one ex-colleague who said she owed Tina her career, and as I looked at her now, her heavily made-up eyes laughing at me, I thought about what it must have been like to be a female journalist in that generation, clawing your way up through the ranks of the old-boys’ network.

Chapter 37 Quotes
“I think I lost sight of what I wanted. I don’t want to end up like Tina and Alexander, traveling from country to country and only seeing five-star hotels and Michelin restaurants. Yes, Rowan’s been to half the luxury resorts in the Caribbean, but in return she spends her life reporting the stories that people like Bullmer want her to tell, and I don’t want that, not anymore. I want to write about the things people don’t want you to know. And if I’m going to start pulling my way up from the bottom again, well, I can freelance from anywhere.”

Back home, Lo stuns Judah with the announcement that she’s leaving Velocity, where she’s worked for the past decade, in order to move to New York with him and start her career over, getting back to her youthful dream of investigative reporting. She explains that her experiences on the Aurora have modified her ambitions. She’s afraid that if she emulates the veteran travel journalists she’s met, she’ll spend her life writing about places frequented by the wealthy and powerful, and she’ll begin to think that such places are all there is to life.
