Make believe Quote by David Szalay
““He likes it. The fairy-tale topography of the town. A make-believe world of walled gardens. The quietness of summer. The stone-floored lodge and the deferential porter. Yes, a make-believe world, like something imagined by a shy child. Somewhere to hide. Dreaming spires.””
