It's a fascinating book, but I'm really booged down, stuck. I can't get past this chapter. I'm not sure what it is, but the story is exciting enough, it's just that the twin authors take so long to make even the simplest point. I really wish someone h ...more |

“We were convinced that she looked on with indifference if she noticed us at all. Today I know that everything watches, that nothing goes unseen, and that even wallpaper has a better memory than ours. It isn't God in His heaven that sees all.
