Kate Atkinson Quote

Viola was a good reader, a bookworm—a phrase she hated. How can a worm be a nice thing to be? Viola said. I would be a worm, Nancy thought, if that was the only existence on offer, and then laughed at herself for having reached such a pass. Without worms we wouldn’t be able to grow food and everyone would starve, Nancy said reasonably.
