Alice- I enjoyed the reflective tone in this piece pertaining George, your book, and even the serious and unserious-ness of screaming over the Beatles. A great weaving of words—almost with a musicality to it.
I absolutely love this, Alice. Love it. thank you for posting it and again affirming the vitality of old(er) women. as you did in Fellowship Point. My last two books also had women in their seventies as protagonists, one of them feisty, irreverent, daring, and damned if she was going to put up with any crap. While many contemporary novels are brilliant, it seems many relegate their elder women characters to secondary grandma in the background roles. Thank you again for Fellowship Point and for this different perspective.

We were the Spice Girls.
I love imagining you and George as brother and sister
“They were characters as far as I was concerned, with as many mathematical properties as human ones”
From a writing/craft perspective, what does this mean?
