Book cover for Wuthering Heights
I’ve dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas: they’ve gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

Diane Setterfield
“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

Jodi Picoult
“It is a fact universally acknowledged that it’s impossible to stay furious in close proximity to a newborn elephant.”
Jodi Picoult, Larger Than Life

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“So much has been done, exclaimed the soul of Frankenstein—more, far more, will I achieve; treading in the steps already marked, I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Diane Setterfield
“Everybody has a story. It’s like families. You might not know who they are, might have lost them, but they exist all the same. You might drift apart or you might turn your back on them, but you can’t say you haven’t got them. Same goes for stories.”
Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Feminist: a person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists
