our friends snatched it away from us


 

We bought your book, but the only one to read it was me.  My husband, Alexe, didn’t get to it, because our friends snatched it away from us, and from that time it travels, from hand to hand, from one to another, they read it, they pass it along...You know how it is over here, people don’t have money to buy books, so when a good one comes along, they all want to borrow it and read it.
