Waiting for the Rain Quotes

“But he knew that a book was a magic thing-it was small enough to hold in your hand yet you could take from inside it something big like the sea and the waves and high mountains; and you could find inside it how people live in that country on the other side of the sea, what they eat, what they say to each other, what kind of houses they live in.”
― Sheila Gordon, Waiting for the Rain
