podcast

Just in case anyone is still following, I did a podcast with Ali Baker discussing Cricket Term along with Daisy May Johnson's How to Be Brave, and it's available on Podbean here (also I think on Apple podcasts and other places). It was a lot of fun to do, though of course we both thought of lots of other things to say afterwards!

There are notes on the webpage with references, and things we couldn't quite remember on the spot, and I'd also note I think we are little unfair on Ginty at one point; she does have some self-awareness about e.g. pretending she deliberately did badly at the diving to benefit Monica, as when everything gets found out in Attic Term, that's the unpunished sin that comes to her mind.

Yes! Because in FL Rowan is completely in the wrong there on the face of it, because Ginty clearly and comprehensively says "No" and is shoved into it nonetheless, and forced to do subterfuge to get out of it. And while that's morally different from Lois claiming incapacity (falsely) as an insurance policy, Rowan who is only 16 and under some stress at the time (functional eldest given that Karen is as self-centred as Lawrie but better at disguising it, and Giles is away) I can see why it strikes the same buttons.

Because Kingscote is the sort of environment where people do notice, and she's unable to parse the change that quickly.
