“You ever wish that you’d . . . ’ I waited for more, but her question politely disintegrated. But then, although no more words were forthcoming, she tilted her head slightly and suddenly what she’d asked me picked up its current and expanded wildly. I smiled a huge smile. ‘Of course I do.

“Human beings are curators. Each polishes his or her own favoured memories, arranging them in order to create a narrative that pleases. Some events are repaired and polished for display; others are deemed unworthy and cast aside, shelved below ground in the overflowing storeroom of the mind. There, with any luck, they are promptly forgotten. The process is not dishonest: it is the only way that people can live with themselves and the weight of their experiences.”
― Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter
