Chapter Twenty-Two

1 . Paragraph begins with: The strangest thing is how close you feel right now.

Alexis: I wish I’d made more of this in the book as a whole, but northern nicknames, like Irish nicknames, are a whole thing. Like it’s very much a “did one thing at school once” or “had a big duffel coat for a while” and you’ll be known as Duffelcoat (or the equivalent) for the rest of your life.

2 . Paragraph begins with: He’s out, at the moment, planning something.

Alexis: I guess it’s kind of obvious (as I often say, I’ve never claimed to be a subtle writer), but I think this is the first time in the book Fen has chosen not to confide in his mother first.
