The Scapegoat Quotes

“I'd been looking forward to reading my book--to escaping for a while into someone else's concerns. But after several minutes, I was forced to return to the beginning of the chapter and start it again. I read more slowly this time, concentrating on putting the words together carefully, and yet the sentences refused to reveal any of their meaning to me, and I found myself going over the same lines again and again, puzzling at certain banal phrases, at descriptions of the scenery and the weather.”
― Sara Davis, The Scapegoat
