Hi Tim. Thanks so much for your lovely review - and for this question! You're right - I did want the reader to know there was some light at the end of the tunnel for Biddy. Her torment is so relentless that there had to be the promise of hope. Also, as the book starts with adult Biddy making her life-changing phone call, the reader knows from the outset that she survives the horror of her childhood. I really appreciate you not just reading the book in the first place, but taking the time to post a comment and ask a question. Thank you!

I only came across your book because Brid Brennan read it via Audible. I so love the way she delivered Milkman that I trusted her to read another good book . I was so right to do so! I find it hard to find books I want to read and The Lonely Life of Biddy Weir was superb. I wish it were easy to access such good writing. Anita Brookner has been my favourite writer for decades but I now have Anna Burns and you?
