In the Keep of Time/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: A number of them, but Ollie-Mae breaking down over the ruins of Kelso Abbey and being comforted by Aunt Grace is one of the more moving:

Aunt Grace: Don't be angry with her. Most of us just accept what we see. To see what might have been--and what might be--that takes special insight.

    • And how Vianah gets Ollie to accept who she truly is.

Vianah: These things you talk of--cars and planes and even the people--they are all things of long ago.
Ollie: That's what Elinor says about Meg and Anna and John the Carver. Sometimes I don't know where I belong.
Vianah: You belong with those you love, and those who love you.
