“I imagine he knows magic, if he is reading books. The book itself doesn’t matter. It’s that he found another world in it.”
― Rene Denfeld, The Enchanted

“When you were a little girl, Madam.....was this the woman you dreamed of becoming?”
― Andrew Sean Greer, The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells

“The books brought brilliance to my life, and they brought an understanding: Life is a story. Everything that has happened and will happen to me is all part of the story of this enchanted place - all the dreams and visions and understandings that come to me in my dungeon cell. The books helped me see the truth is not in the touch of the stone but in what the stone tells you.”
― Rene Denfeld, The Enchanted

“After a time, it seemed that the world inside the books became my world. So when I thought of my childhood, it was dandelion wine and ice cream on a summer porch, like Ray Bradbury, and catching catfish with Huck Finn. My own memories receded and the book memories became the real memories, far more than the outside, far more even than in here.”
― Rene Denfeld, The Enchanted
