Status Updates From The Seeing Stone

"I named the angel Raphael, saint of lovers, and then Gerard, who watches over pregnant women."
This scene takes place in the year 1200. St. Gerard Majella was born in 1720. Kevin Crossley-Holland looked up "patron saint of pregnant women" but didn't check when that saint actually lived. A person in the Middle Ages would have prayed to St. Anne.

HE'S GOING ON A CRUSADE?!? HE'S LEAVING GATTY?!?

the baby died 😭 and i am oddly invested in the happenings of that seeing stone. if only i could make sense of said happenings.

This is such a weird book. I kind of hate it. It’s a journal format written in present tense. Ugh.
