(and for everyone who knows a housewife):
"You are no ordinary housewife, Signora Benedetti."
She looked at him.
"Professore Schafer, I am of the opinion that when one gets to know a housewife, any housewife, one finds that she is never ordinary."

I LOVE IT!!!!
Michael O'Brien lives in the same little city that we did when I had The Girl, I think!
Terrific quote.
I just finished O'Brien's ISLAND OF THE WORLD. First rate!
So very true!
Love it!
You know, I have this book sitting on my library book shelf. Just HAD to get it after you called it the best book you've read (or one of your favorite books, or SOMETHING with an "st" ending!). So I'll be reading it soon (and likely thanking you) :)
