Bea has also read more that I ever have.
Aren’t you very proud of her?

She looks very like you in the photo too- especially the shape of her mouth.

When Bea reaches her 10th birthday give her the book “Marianne’s Dreams” by Catherine Storr. I adored it and it haunted me (in a good way) all my life. Then when I cleared out my Mum’s house I found it and read it again and it was still wonderful (and I was rather chuffed at the standard of books I was reading back then).

Good God! It looks like you’re breeding a team of surdoués.

There is a French joke about (grown up) people who pretend to be re-reading A la recherche du temps perdu. Meaning they never actually read it in the first place, but it’s kind of posh to say that they are giving the book another shot. pffft!
