Posted on Mon, 05 Oct 2020

Hi Rhiannon, I think if you're somebody who gets overstimulated by detail then sitting such an exam at age eleven is so overwhelming. I remember the ticking clock at the front of hall getting right into my head and also the sight of the other...

I love this, it's so classy and clean. 'Sunless pauses' and 'blind cave fish'. It's lovely to read and pure quality.
