A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.

When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?

The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.

Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.

Love is to understand, at last, the suffering of another.

The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.

Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five.

Integrity rings like fine glass. True, clear, and reassuring.

A bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note, a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings, an empty scent bottle for the children. . . . Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?
