Kate Morton
Life could be cruel enough these days without the truth making it worse.
Kate Morton
Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings.
Kate Morton
She'd slept terribly the night before. The room, the bed, were both comfortable enough, but she'd been plagued with strange dreams, the sort that lingered upon waking but slithered away from memory as she tried to grasp them. Only the tendrils of discomfort remained.
Kate Morton
But everyone's an expert with the virtue of hindsight . . . .
Kate Morton
Quite simply the book and I were meant to be together.
Kate Morton
They say everyone needs something to love.
Kate Morton
She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
Kate Morton
I've heard it said that children born to stressful times never shake the air of woe . . . .
Kate Morton
She doesn't know I cry for the changing times. That just as I reread favourite books, some small part of me hoping for a different ending, I find myself hoping against hope that the war will never come. That this time, somehow, it will leave us be.
