Want to Read"...a man could not possibly compare with the fascination of a mushroom."-Alexandra Bell, The Winter Garden
"Some things - some mistakes ... Well, we just have to live with them, that's all. And there's no shortcut or magical solution that will undo them."-Alexandra Bell, The Winter Garden
"How much more straightforward it was to bear a physical illness or malady. You need not do anything but rest, and the body simply healed itself. Miseries of the mind, however, were quite another matter; they were a sticky spider's web, and Beatrice had learned that the more you struggled against them, the tighter the strands seemed to bind you."-Alexandra Bell, The Winter Garden
"After one whole year, the only thing she knew for sure was that motherhood was exhausting, terrifying and nerve-racking, and every day seemed to force her to learn anew what she must do. Yet it was also the most rewarding adventure of her life, and she thrilled at the thought of all that lay ahead - which made up for all the moments when she was laid low with uncertainty and doubt."-Alexandra Bell, The Winter Garden
