Gode sitater fra Plus One av Elizabeth Fama

Enkelte bøker byr på mange vakre sitater, det må deles. 

I vår leste jeg Plus One av Elizabeth Fama, en historie hvor menneskets fortid har endret framtiden. Endringene ble gjort under Spanskesyken, og verden slik vi kjenner den i dag eksisterer ikke. Jeg har skrevet meg om boken på min engelske bokblogg Escape In A Book, les gjerne innlegget ved å følge linken her.

And finally, to my relief, Cygnus the Swan and the Great Summer Triangle began to emerge from the cosmos with the faint, cloudy dragon spine of the edge of our galaxy.“Oh my god, is that the Milky Way?” he whispered. My throat got hot. It was the most beautiful thing I could ever have hoped to show him.
