rules and restrictions of childhood. I can open locked boxes
and break meaningless oaths with impunity. I’m on the

bright, and remote blue horizons open all around.”

children’s game. And all the time she’s a stranger in
our midst, watching us with alien eyes.”

when she’s been spying herself.”
- “Auntie Dee and even the untidiness itself glowed with a kind of
sacred light, like a saint and his attributes in a religious painting,
because they reflected the glory of Uncle Peter.”
- "The softness of her voice, her closeness as she
leans towards me, and above all the 'darling' that
she uses for her own son, make my face dissolve."
