I love hearing you read. There is something so tactile about the reading. It's like, we're God, I'm hearing it. Thank you for reading that. If we stay with that passage for a bit, I wonder whether you could frame it in the wider sense of the book. Where is this person? What are the conditions under which he's living in this moment in a way? At this stage the narrator is, I guess, in her early teens. She's at a regular comprehensive school in the southwest of England.
