A Quote from Christina Baker Kline, on the Occasion of Her New Book

I’ve just started reading Christina Baker Kline‘s brand new novel, A Piece of the World, and thought you might enjoy this quote from her last one:

Time constricts and flattens, you know. It’s not evenly weighted. Certain moments linger in the mind and others disappear.” -Christina Baker Kline, Orphan Train

It’s true for life, and for writing, and for reading, isn’t it?
