It is a relationship that is complex and complicated, and more often than not it can feel as though I belong nowhere: ???Not, in the end, quite home???, to quote the novel. This might seem terribly bleak, these are very important questions, not least because they touch me so deeply. I do not want to shy away from such questions just because they do not make me smile ??? indeed, I think that makes them even more important.
