The Watch House Quotes

“If I ever get out of this, she thought, if I ever get out of this, I shall never open a history book again. History in books is a lie. Reading about Castlereagh and Wellington is a lie; because what you read is printed on nice clean shiny new paper. Real history is damp and dust and cobwebs and dead people who won't lie down.”
― Robert Westall, The Watch House
