My dad was quite posh when he was growing up.

He went to boarding school and everything.

Then he had a...

a bit of a breakdown at Oxford and left to go to Sheffield to do architecture, which is what he really wanted to do.

And he was quite sort of socialist and never wanted me to go to sort of like posh school or anything.

So he wanted a very different life to what he'd had.

So he's kind of like moving in the opposite direction to Wilbur.

But yeah, he saw a lot, I think, of their relationship in Sheffield.

Well, I mean, three is a nice number.

I haven't, I mean, there was, like, before I wrote this, I was thinking more straightforwardly about a sequel to The Midnight Library, which would be Nora and Mrs. Elm, but it'd be sort of reversed, where Mrs. Elm is about her life and the difference she's made to other people, and Nora would be her guide.

So that would have been more of a straightforward sequel.

So I might go back to that.

I don't know, but it's probably not going to be the next book.

No, I have read Kurt Vonnegut, but not Timequake.

They're trapped in their actions that they did before.

Yeah, at the start I thought, maybe I'm just writing that.

Maybe I'm just writing the world's most depressing book.

Within what we've given.

Yeah, exactly.

I think so.
