The House of the Fallen Sisters is a wonderful, page turning and important book. Its thrilling story, told with masterful precision, had me racing to get to each new chapter. Alongside the exemplary storytelling though, is a profound exploration of r ...more | |
"Sycorax is the mother of Caliban in Shakespeare's The Tempest, and although she has died prior to the beginning of the play, she still exerts influence over the events that take place during it. References to her within the play, are far from flatter"

“All we can do is perform our lives as gloriously as possible. For my part, I’m happy to take my applause where I can. This is the end because I cannot write the next chapter, it needs to be lived.”

“Do not be defined by a lover, or by anyone else for that matter. You are not an appendage, an add-on to the masculine world. And so, you must have your independence – not only of thought and spirit, but physical and financial. Independence will be your strength. Find it. Hold on to it. It is freedom, Mouse, and it will serve you well.”

“To dream is to live with your face brightened by moonlight. Yet dreams are only a shadow, my Mouse, a pale and rippled reflection of the way things could be. I know what a dreamer you are; we are cut from the same fabric where that’s concerned. But, if our dreams come true, we risk tainting them with the hard edge of reality. Sometimes it’s a risk worth taking, like working hard to become the greatest funambulist who ever lived. And, sometimes, it’s best to leave well alone and let daydreams stay in the world of our imagination. The trick is, finding which to leave and which to follow.”
