Quotes by Sonia Velton (?)

“But there are no secrets in London. Even the houses lean across the narrow alleys towards each other and offer up their scandals in the blink of an open curtain.”
― Sonia Velton, Blackberry & Wild Rose

“She was like a cat sidling in uninvited and looking about. You don’t want to turn it out straight away so you offer it a scrap of food. The next thing you know it’s curled up on your favourite chair, watching you with unblinking elliptic eyes.”
― Sonia Velton, Blackberry and Wild Rose: A gripping historical mystery

“The nightingale is still the bird of darkness and mourning, even though its song is sweet.”
