“Five years ago, you didn’t care about telling the truth. You, all your family, you just assumed that for all my education, I was still little better than a servant, still not to be trusted. Thanks to you, they were able to close ranks and throw me to the fucking wolves!”

I was too much of a coward to go and see my sister in June, 1940. I never made that journey to Balham. And, in fact, could never have happened.Because Robbie Turner died of septicaemia at Bray-Dunes on June the first, 1940, the last day of the evacuation. And I was never able to put things right with my sister, Cecilia, because she was killed on the 15th of October, 1940, by the bomb that destroyed the gas and water mains above Balham tube station.

So…My sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for, and deserved. And which, ever since, I’ve… Ever since I’ve always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope, or satisfaction, could a reader derive from an ending like that? So, in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I’d like to think this isn’t weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness.

NO YOU DID NOT YOU DUMB BITCH. YOU SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOU PREVENTED IT BECAUSE YOU DID.
