I love this song. It is truly one of my favourites. As I was listening to it and looking at a list of my books just last week, the one that seemed to match best with this song, especially the lyrics below, had to be…
I keep spinning around until you slow me down
You make me real, when you make the world stand still
and
I wouldn’t have believed it
‘Cause I never used to see it
You give this life meaning around me
When you make the world stand still
…Charles and Evelyn’s story. I think Charles is one of my most “spinning around” sorts of heroes until he meets Evelyn, and she shows him the life that is happening around him and that has more meaning than his current life does.
The few lines below are found in a scene where Charles admits (to his best friend, Henry Crawford) that he has fallen for Evelyn.
Charles: To Discover His Purpose is book 2 in my Other Pens series. This series is a sequel to Mansfield Park that follows Henry Crawford and his friends and relations as they find their happily ever afters. Charles Edwards is just one of the many original characters that are part of this series.
(And no, you don’t have to like Mansfield Park to like this series, although you may want to, at least, watch an adaptation or read a plot summary before beginning reading.)
For those following Charles’ story on Fridays, the quote above will show up in one of the chapters this Friday (Feb 12). 🙂
