Such an interesting book! My husband picked it up for me as I am interested in all things Conan Doyle and Sherlockian, and it is a great narrative of a real life case on which CD cleared a man wrongfully convicted. But, unexpectedly, it is also a spot-on treatise on racial profiling.

“Sitting in a chair gives too much opportunity to retreat into the self. Keep the person moving, in the way that an artist keeps the oil moving when he is painting. Don’t give them a chance to dry up; don’t allow the client to shut you out.”

“Allow grief room to air itself. Be judicious in using the body to comfort another, for you may extinguish the freedom that the person feels to be able to share a sadness.”

“Never follow a story with a question, Maisie, not immediately. And remember to acknowledge the storyteller, for in some way even the messenger is affected by the story he brings.”

Super interesting- I love this book!
