from THE LIE TREE
Quiet people often have a weather sense that loud people lack. They feel the wind-changes of conversations and shiver in the chill of unspoken resentments.
Frances Hardinge
It’s always good to have someone speak up for the quiet. And good for the rest of us to stop talking long enough to notice what is happening in other people’s emotions. These words come from Frances Hardinge’s 2015 novel The Lie Tree – a book that is full of insights, beautifully expressed.
