Truly Alice, books are wonderful things to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged!

She could see that to lose a sibling was hard: it could only seem unnatural:out of time, out of order, a vicious re-run of your own departure into nothingness.

I was always furious because you couldn't take out more than three books in one day. You would go home with your three books and read them and it would still be only five o'clock. The library didn't shut till half past, but you couldn't change the books till the next day.
