Laurel

“All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes -- characters even -- caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.”
― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

“... for home is a magnet that lures back even its most abstracted children.”
― Kate Morton, The House at Riverton

“She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.”
― Kate Morton, The Forgotten Garden

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”
― Ernest Hemingway
