You have a way of creating characters that get under the reader's skin. Mara is the latest example. She has another story or two in her, I reckon. You're so good with female characters.

It makes me wonder about Mara's father. What did he say to her mother?

I hope you never meet him! There may be a story in him, haha

"whats done in blood, stays in bone" - so chilling. Is that a Thai saying or a Devonshire saying? Provocative story.

Actually it’s an old English saying, to do with ancestors. God knows why it came to me for a Thai story.
