..seems to occur when Tim describes half term at school as "not too mouldy". I only spotted it this time. I just really liked it. Tim would see herself as so far away from the gorilla of 3b, too!
I think the the letter from Esther's mother is quietly and convincingly disgusting - she has not only made Esther feel unwanted, through, at best, sheer carelessness at worst, a desire to smarm up to her new in-laws but she puts pressure on Esther to pretend she doesn't mind. Horribly realistic, I'm afraid.
