"When the letter came I was out in the fields, binding up my last sheaf of wheat with hands that were shaking so much I could hardly tie the knot. It was my fault we'd had to do it the old-fashioned way, and I'd be damned if I was going to give up now;

"I paused for a moment, testing the place where the fear had been, as though I was checking a rotten tooth with my tongue. Nothing - or no, maybe a sharp faint echo of pain: not the dull ache of decay but something cleaner, like a gap that was already healing. There was a scent in the air like earth after rainfall, as if everything had been freshly remade.

"'There's a growing trade in fakes, you know. Does that concern you?' He paused, but he didn't seem surprised not to get an answer, 'I've never seen one - well, as far as I know - but I'm curious. Could one really tell the difference? Novels, they call them. They must be much cheaper to produce. You can copy them, you see.

"I hoped Darnay would change his mind; but when he didn't come the next day I was filled with a perverse disappointment, as if somone I wanted to fight had apologised."

"And sometimes it was almost pleasant: the warmth, Alta and Darnay talking in low voices or silently absorbed in a game, Darnay whistling a soft melody betweeen his teeth while Alta made a mess of her embroidery. Sometimes, in spite of everything, I had to clench my jaw to stop myself laughing at something he'd said. Sometimes I had to dig my nails into my palms to reming myself not to let him charm me too."

"Suddenly, standing there, I felt the spring, like the hairs rising on the backs of my arms. I shook her away, and laughed.
'What's going on? Emmett? Wait, are you two friends?'
Her voice was a mixture of relief and suspicion and - something else, something not quite as comfortable.
Endelig. Men stakkels Alta."

"171 af 338 sider på min reader, så ca. halvdelen er læst og jeg har ikke på noget tidspunkt fundet romanen kedelig (i modsætning til flere andre herinde). Men en spændingsroman er det ikke - tempoet er langsomt og jeg finder den meget stemningsfyldt."

"Sidste side i min ebogsversion. Endelig færdig! Den sidste halvdel føltes som en blanding af YA og romance - ingen af delene af den gode slags. Jeg overvejede at lægge bogen væk, men ville gerne vide slutningen og håbede også den blev bedre igen (det gjorde den ikke)."
