This house is a thing both ancient and disjointed, an entity of addition and subtraction, a palimpsest of stone and wood and caulk and mud. Its existence here, on the peninsula, is proof that everything was once something else: nothing goes away.

Hi Nic, thanks for stopping by. Listening to Maggie O'Farrell must have been a spectacular experience. She structures her prose so beautifully that I imagine hearing her thoughts live, whether at a lecture or a festival, feels like an extension of her books. I must confess, I am deeply envious that you had the chance to listen to her speak in person!
She was incredible! What a writer’s mind & a great sense of humour too.
