A passage from John Fowles's 'The Magus'
We walked on a way, then she said, ‘It’s just I haven’t roots anywhere any more. I don’t belong anywhere. They’re all places I fly to or from. Or over. I just have people I like. Or love. They’re the only homeland I have left.’
She threw a look back, a shy one, as if she had been saving up this truth about herself, this rootlessness, homelandlessness,...
