Let herself drop through the rabbit hole and into a tale of magic and mystery.
Kate Morton
She felt like a fictional character who'd escaped the book in which her creator had carefully and kindly trapped her, taken a pair of scissors to her outline and leaped, free.
Kate Morton
Doors lead to things and I've never met one I haven't wanted to open.
Kate Morton
It didn't occur to him that she might have chosen to remain this way. That where he saw reserve and loneliness, Cassandra saw self-preservation and the knowledge that it was safer when one had less to lose.
