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

“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

“It was flattering to be drawn into someone else’s confidence like that. There was something touching about her honesty, how open she had been about her mistakes.”
― Hilary Tailor, The Vanishing Tide
