Started: Tuesday 6th July, in the evening, whilst Noah does his baptism class at MBC.
Finished: On the Northern Line between Leicester Square and Waterloo, as part of my journey back to Scarborough. Maybe it's the effect of the book, but I put my slightly depressed feeling down to the fact that I have just had to leave Noah :(
Review: A tale about the unsettling experience of becoming friends (is it 'friends'?) with a deeply troubled child. What exactly is Tulip heading towards? What does happen to her at home? And can Natalie do anything about it? Quite a serious reflection on how much difference our actions can have on the lives of others.
Time: Read over 18 hours. Breaks for chips and mushy peas on the roundabout with Noah's small group; intermittent moments of basketball; hanging out in the hammock in the dark quiet of Noah's back garden; sleep and breakfast and wandering in Godalming; and farewell hot chocolate (Noah had chai). He even bought me some cake! Isn't that nice?
