"Merry didn’t believe Feron had any idea of her homesickness. Now Ritchie was the complete opposite. He loved being away from home and at twelve was making plans for traveling the world. What made him different? Did people who weren’t homesick carry their home inside them? And then there were people who wanted to forget the home they came from. She knew Feron must be one of these."-Gail Godwin, Old Lovegood Girls
