It struck Tom like a horrible truth, true for all time, true for the people he had known in the past and for those he would know in the future: each had stood and would stand before him, and he would know time and time again that he would never know them, and the worst was that there would always be an illusion, for a time, that he did know them, and that he and they were completely in harmony and alike.
I really enjoyed this book: the summer mirage of Europe spilling through the pages, the cast of characters, being in Tom's head and the lines he blurred to excuse the things he did. I didn't know this was a series prior to starting the book, and I'm now interested in reading more.
