Just gorgeous, Cate! Traversing so much history, personal and cultural, takes me on a satisfying journey through the layers of hardness and softness you excavate here. I love how you blend the material you wrote about for the Globe with your personal experience and show the reader that the work you do enters the person you are and vise versa. I hope you do more like this!

You are revealing the secret places in our culture that speak the secret riches we carry within us. Mum (my)'s the word.
