Yeah.

You said before that it's, for you, there are almost three protagonists.

And I was going to say, to me, there are two other very important characters, one of whom is Jack and the other one is Phoebe's mother.

And neither of them we actually spend, sort of the reader doesn't firsthand spend a huge amount of time with either of them.

And yet they're hugely important.

I mean, both to the plot and also to the sort of

motivations of Kate and Phoebe.

Everything they do really is motivated by their relationships with Jack and Phoebe's mother.

How fleshed out were those two sort of slightly off-stage characters for you?

So are you walking around thinking, I wonder what Kate would say about the fact that this bus hasn't shown up yet?

Or, you know, is it that kind of thing?

Or are you thinking, how would Phoebe react to this?

Right.

Yeah.

I particularly enjoyed the horribleness of Phoebe's mother.

I mean, you know, you said before about Phoebe being pernicious and, you know, her mother is even more so.

And, you know, it is quite unusual to be unpleasant, but it's not so unusual that we don't all know somebody who's pretty unpleasant.

And Phoebe's mum is very recognisably an absolute monster.

And Phoebe says this thing about her that...

There are three types of toxic mother and her mother manages to be all three of them.
