Gehad Elgendy answers “What about the scene when Ursula is 13, I...”

Anne asked this question about Life After Life:

Izzie is driving and busy turning the car around for some reason, and meanwhile Ursula sees her mother emerge from a hotel, wearing her mink coat, on the arm of a well-dressed man. I read the kindle version, so I haven't been able to go back yet and find that part. I don't think we ever get an explanation for that scene.

"Sylvie returned in time for Mrs Glover’s apple charlotte. Their own apples – a small orchard that Sylvie had planted at the end of the war was beginning to bear fruit. When Hugh wondered where she had been she said something indistinct about Gerrards Cross. She sat at the dining table and said, ‘I’m not really terribly hungry'"
it was also mentioned in the same scene that sylvie seemed quite gay.
After that Hugh mentioned Izzie and Selvie said that she quite forgot that Ursula had been to London and said that she was glad that Ursula returned in one piece.(less)
