“For a bookworm like Mother, a Brontë novel sister was better than a biological one.”
“Besides, she had survived the searingly hot nights, when sleep was rendered impossible, by reading a miasma of English novels by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. They had served to fire her belief that 'true love' would one day be found.”
“Hi," I said. "I'm the last of the Brontë sisters.”
“She is a real bookworm. I think she lives on print. Her whole house is full of books - looks as if she likes them better than human company.”
“No one will ever write a fantasy novel better than The Hobbit.”
“The two of them were like oil and water. Her older sister was forever stuck in surrogate mommy role. But Viviana had never needed, nor wanted a replacement mother. Fate had seen fit to remove her biological mother, so she figured that was the way it was supposed to be.”
