"One develops an instinct for letting silence do……" — Glen Duncan

"One develops an instinct for letting silence do the heavy lifting. In the three, four, five seconds that passed without either of us speaking, the many ways the conversation could go came and went like time-lapse film of flowers blooming and dying."

— Glen Duncan
