The Penmaker's Wife Quotes

“the tangled framework of wrought iron supporting the train shed roof,”

“was barely past daybreak, the gas lamps still cooling in the foggy half-light of what promised to be another fine summer’s morning, yet the woman could already hear the city coming to life around her.

But what did any of that matter to her? In another hour she would be floating in the Thames.”
― Steve Robinson, The Penmaker's Wife
