I am human. Like all humans, I do not remember my birth. By the time we wake up to ourselves, we are little children, and our advent is something that happened an eternity ago, at the beginning of time. We live like latecomers to the theater; we must catch up as best we can, divining the begging from the shape of later events. - Vida Winter

Diane SetterfieldI have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life, and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy
