“if the past is filled with uncertainty and violent change, if the land you’re standing on was once under the sea, you can be sure of anything. How can you rely on tradition or order or identity when the whole world is mutable, when dynasties crumble and all your deepest beliefs might be based on fiction?”
― Helena Kelly, Jane Austen, the Secret Radical
