“Our native susceptibilities and acquired tastes determine which of the many qualities in an object shall most impress us, and be most clearly recalled. One man remembers the combustible properties of a substance, which to another is memorable for its polarising property; to one man a stream is so much water-power, to another a rendezvous for lovers.” MenRememberWaterQualityObjectsHe ManLoversTastePropertyDetermineSubstanceMemorableStreamsNativeOne ManImpressSusceptibilityRendezvousAcquired TasteWater Power Author:George Henry Lewes
“Monkey Beach is a moody, powerful novel full of memorable characters. Reading it was like entering a pool of emerald water to discover a haunted world shivering with loss and love, regret and sorrow, where the spirit world is as real as the human. I was sucked into it with the very first sentence and when I left, it was with a feeling of immense reluctance.” WorldFirstsHumansRealCharacterFeelingsSpiritReadingLeftWaterLossPowerfulNovelRegretSorrowAnd LoveSentencesBeachMemorablePoolImmenseMonkeysEnteringMoodyReluctanceEmeraldsSpirit WorldMemorable Characters Author:Anita Rau Badami
