Lucky Girl
"The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, some one even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours." Alan Benett, The History Boys.
