About This Quote
When a person feels alone in their world, they can turn to books for solace. Whether it be a book that takes place in another country or the book you're currently reading, there is always someone who experienced what you're going through and can help you get through it. The person who wrote the book is telling the story from their perspective and that perspective may differ from yours. You may feel that your experience isn't being accurately portrayed, but overall, there is a point of commonality between you and the author.
