Quote by Gail Honeyman

“I was almost sad when we arrived a the squat, white clubhouse. It was halfway to dark by then, with both a moon and a sun sitting high in a sky that was sugar almond pink and shot with gold. The birds were singing valiantly against the coming night, swooping over the greens in long, drunken loops. The air was grassy, with a hint of flowers and earth, and the warm, sweet outbreath of the day sighed gently into our hair and over our skin. I felt like asking Raymond whether we should keep walking, walk over the rolling greens, keep walking till the birds fell silent in their bowers and we could see only by starlight. It almost felt like he might suggest it himself.”

“While Corrie slept, the forest awakened around him. This forest was full of wildlife and colorful flowers. There were birds perched on branches of trees, squirrels digging up nuts, and butterflies fluttering back and forth, as a river's waters splashed against rocks in the distance. The smell of the flowers danced on the wind throughout the forest, filling it with the sweetest scents ever smelled by human beings.”
