Hi Avril, I'm reading The Silent Women, for the 3rd time. And just felt a note of gratitude was necessary, I've never read anything a 3rd time, but it's just so damned good! Alice Semple, what a gem and a gift to readers, describing maton as a 'hedge whore'. And now infuriated Mr Stafford is to find she keeps an inventory of fellow lunatics and their conditions! Priceless 😂

Thanks so much for introducing me to the Solnit essay. I've read most of her books, but didn't know this essay. x
