"I have become better at writing than living...

On the page, I'm perfectly charming, but that's just a trick I learned.

It has nothing to do with me. At least, that's what I was thinking as

the mail boat came toward the pier. I had a cowardly impulse

to throw my red cape overboard and pretend I was someone else."

- character Juliet

in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
