“I got thinking about the window seat: how special it is and how it can be taken for granted. These expansive views can be very humbling.

“Her [Jane Austen’s] genius began with the recognition that such lives as hers were very eventful indeed — that every life is eventful, if only you know how to look at it. She did not think that her existence was quiet or trivial or boring; she thought it was delightful and enthralling, and she wanted us to see that our own are, too. She understood that what fills our days should fill our hearts, and what fills our hearts should fill our novels.”
