Book Quote by Ann Sutherland
““After finishing a good book, it was sometimes days before she could shake off that other reality; the one she'd dipped into, leaving the characters with whom she had bonded so tightly. She always grieved when she finished a novel. Knowing this would happen created a conflict in her, a desire to complete the story, read the whole thing and a hesitation to have it end; certain she would feel the loss she always experienced.””
