And it's like, how can you deal with this...
Isn't it?
The sister has cut her out, hasn't she?
No, Michelle's good with her.
Oh, no, Michelle's good.
It's Michelle's much more there.
She's accused of not being there enough, isn't she?
I think why this book is so interesting is that, I mean, that's why it's a book, is that she hasn't cut her out.
She's trying to...
as best as she is physically able to be in contact with this woman, even though she finds it so difficult.
And yet that's her mother.
But it's limited contact.
turns up but that's do you know what I mean I think it's a very interesting choice to write about a character that doesn't completely disconnect because obviously there's a book about estrangement but this is keeping that character in the tension of having to touch base with the person who made her
And that's what this book is all about, isn't it?
Like you said at the beginning of constantly having to visit your phantoms, the people who made you.
I know this little skinny mum on her tiny shoulders putting her cheek next to her and her mum sort of not hugging her back properly I know she doesn't she doesn't know it feels like she doesn't know how to be a mum and then it's funny isn't it because there's the grandma as well so you feel like she did have a relationship she did have a nice mum this her mum seemed to have a nice mum and the daughter had a relationship with the grandma but it's like the moment the grandma dies it's sort of all
And then I sort of wondered how much work the grandma was doing for this person that she was obviously translating a lot of the world for her or supporting her or helping her navigate life.
But I just think it's such... Yeah, it's such a good book.
Like the right... I mean bleak in a fair way.
I don't mean like, oh, don't pick it up.
