“People are like books that are loaned out with blank pages and it’s the job of the world to fill in the story. Maybe that story will get read a page here, paragraph there, a line exchanged on a doorstep with a stranger. With luck most of it will be shared with someone precious. But however many people read whatever part of it – even those who read the same pages – every one of them will come away with a different tale. And no one, save the person it’s about, will read the whole story.
