Quotes by Hilary Tailor (?)

“Memories are slippery. Like oil in water, they scatter into fragments and form their own shapes.”
― Hilary Tailor, Between the Waves

“It is easy to imagine a wave. But what about the space in between where the sea draws its breath, the moment of stillness before action is taken? Nobody talks about that liminal place, where a line waits to be crossed and nothing returns to the way it was.”
― Hilary Tailor, Between the Waves

“This little finger of land is a Thin Place.’ She turned to Isla. ‘Do you know what that means?’ ‘No.’ ‘It’s an old Celtic saying. It means a place where the walls dividing us from this world and the next are so thin you can feel the other world pressing in.”
― Hilary Tailor, The Vanishing Tide
