You can’t spend your entire life avoiding chance. It’s out there, it’s inescapable, it’s a part of the soul of the world. There are no sure things in this universe, and it’s absolutely ridiculous to try and live like there are!
When I was writing the Midwives stage play in 2019, this was among the quotes from the novel I thought about often – and how important it would be to work it into the drama. So much of the novel is a tightrope about risk and blame. But, the fact is, while sometimes there is a reason for horror and accountability makes sense. . .sometimes there just isn’t a reason and there is no one to blame.
