Reading: The Coral Thief
I’m finding Daniel (narrator) to be terribly irritating. All his hemming and hawing about Lucienne and “omg she needs to get out of Paris” and “blah blah but I love her”…good lord, man!
Hmm. Perhaps it’s not accidental. He is 23 and away from his beloved Derbyshire and Edinburgh for the first time, after all. That post-college, pre-25 window is fraught with annoying behavior and emotional upheaval, maybe he just can’t help it. (In which case: nicely done, Ms Stott.)
Doesn’t change the fact that I’d be happy to smack him upside the head.
