- "I have a sense of freedom, as if I’m no longer bound by the
rules and restrictions of childhood. I can open locked boxes
and break meaningless oaths with impunity. I’m on the
verge of understanding mysteries that have been closed to
me. I’m emerging from the old dark world of tunnels and
terrors, and coming to a broad upland where the air’s
bright, and remote blue horizons open all around.”

straightforward then are not simple and straightforward at
all, but infinitely complex and painful.”

beyond imagination or recall"

- "The softness of her voice, her closeness as she
leans towards me, and above all the 'darling' that
she uses for her own son, make my face dissolve."
- “She’s pretending to be part of some innocent
children’s game. And all the time she’s a stranger in
our midst, watching us with alien eyes.”
- “She’s a fine one to talk about spying,
when she’s been spying herself.”
- “Auntie Dee and even the untidiness itself glowed with a kind of
sacred light, like a saint and his attributes in a religious painting,
because they reflected the glory of Uncle Peter.”
- "The softness of her voice, her closeness as she
leans towards me, and above all the 'darling' that
she uses for her own son, make my face dissolve."
