“When he looks into your eyes, tells you he loves you-and the pickled herring and onions are stronger than his voice-yet you still smile. You still want to be close to him. Yes, then you have found love.”

Used to walk to the Joyce tower in Sandy Cove, Dublin, quite regularly when I was at film school there. Frankfurt (in the sense of the book fair) has been pretty good to me this year too.
Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads,
ROGER
