Not sure when I first read this, but this second
read an impressive, immersive, total delight. Told by a mother lying awake in
bed, beside her sleeping husband, contemplating the information they have
decided now is the time to pass to their twins, just past their sixteenth
birthday. Much of the basic facts are guessable, but it is the intricacies and
warmth of relationships, the diversions and the myriad possibilities of the
consequences that adds quality and kept me reading. Truly a masterclass of
novel writing.
Mostly words, a few prints, a few drawings ... and several unfinished stories
