One of the priority tasks pre holiday has been to finish my book! I have been reading the latest Matt Haig, 'How To Stop Time' (signed first edition from Goldsboro) and excellent it was too.
Very tempting to quote the last paragraph from the book, partly because it includes the title, mostly because it is quote-worthy, but seems a bit odd to quote the very end, so here is another paragraph from a little earlier that struck me:
"People you love never die. Not completely. They live in your mind, the way they always lived inside you. You keep their light alive. If you remember them well enough, then can still guide you, like the shine of long-extinguished stars could guide ships in unfamiliar waters. If you stop mourning them, and start listening to them, they still have the power to change your life. They can, in short, be salvation."
