quotes by Jennifer Haigh
"When they touched it was like touching her own body. From childhood they had been the same height; their arms and legs and hands were still perfectly congruent. Only the centers of them were different, aching, fascinated, every part of them heated to the same temperature as the sun warmed pond."
— Jennifer Haigh (Mrs. Kimble)
