En Prentisstown, todos hablan como si se acercaran sigilosamente a sus palabras, listos para golpearlas por detrás.

I knew for certain it would return, sneaking up on me when I wasn’t looking, but meanwhile there were bound to be glimpses of light if only I stayed around and held fast to the long perspective. It was a chance that seemed worth taking.
