Mind Control in the Bookshop

Gillig's London Guide for American Travellers 

"[My novel] took up the sweetest part of my mind and the rarest part of my imagination; it was like being in love and better. All day long when I was busy [...], I had my unfinished novel personified almost as a secret companion and accomplice following me like a shadow wherever I went, whatever I did." - Muriel Spark
