Quote #10

She had stayed in there longer than necessary…trying to understand that Gemma—her Gemma—had died and been resurrected by a kiss of life given by a man who had probably never kissed a woman before—or since. (32.2)

Gemma literally died at the extermination camp, until Josef's CPR brought her back. Part of her metaphorically died too, if you think about it, since she couldn't remember her identity after that.
