The Hartley line always gets me, that the past is somewhere we can't go back to but can still tell stories about. That's most of what I try to do on the page. And "a man of few words" as an opening for a book about a horror too big to name is perfect. On the pile it goes. Thanks for this, Claire.
Thinking now about first lines and the tone they set. You’ve sent me away with a mission, a prompt. Also, with a plan to watch The Sheep Detectives, obvs!
Would have loved to be there! I adored Hamnet (the book and the film).
