The book begins and ends with the visits to give the impression of a tunnel into their ancestors and family history. I believe in going backwards into the past - I felt I was digging a tunnel back to the past.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am connected to the past in a way that keeps me going forward. Every leap forward that I make is by reaching back and firmly getting a footing in the past, and pushing forward as hard as I can.
Without sounding too pretentious, I was sort of a slave to the narrative. When the narrative cracks in, I have to go where it takes me. I had to go to the Bohemian Grove. It was the obvious end to the book.
I've just finished a book called 'The Time Traveler's Wife', which I really enjoyed, but that's quite old, but I have read it. I've read it, and I enjoyed that.
From a good book, I want to be taken to the very edge. I want a glimpse into that outer darkness.
Many women have told me they remember where they were when they read the book, and how they felt suddenly that what they really thought or felt about things made sense.
It's a very good historical book about history.
Since I was a very small child, I've had a kind of reverence for the past, and I felt a very intimate connection with it.
When you read a great book, you don't escape from life, you plunge deeper into it.
I love the past. I read about the past all the time.
What is past is prologue.
