What books? Why keep them? Wouldn’t such a house have a well-stocked library of its own? What does this say about the TIME in the novel? When is MK writing? Or telling? Question
See next page: “It was on a Friday in late April that I brought the library books into our house…. I chose the library books with care. There were books in our house, of course; our father’s study had books covering two walls, but I liked fairy tales and books of history, and Constance liked books about food.”
