Angelika Regossi
“This is not nostalgia. It is memory — and a warning.”
Angelika Regossi, Love in Communism: A Young Woman's Adult Story

Winston Graham
“When they had gone Demelza said:' There is so much wealth in London! Did you see that- those diamonds! And yet there is so little.'
'Little what?'
'Wealth. Those faces as we came in! They would fight for a sixpence. Sometimes I think- what little I've seen, Ross - it's as if London's half at war with itself.”
Winston Graham, The Angry Tide
