  • Study Notes

    • One of my most potent teenage memories is of taking charge of some sick chickens on our family farm.

    • I built them a special pen, and spent my spare time feeding them.

    • When I told my dad they had all died, I realised he had known this would happen, and that he would not have let my brother, a trainee farmer, persist in such a sentimental illusion.

    • In short, it meant that everyone had realised before I did that I'd never make a farmer.

    • Did my brother, father or mother remember the chickens as a major turning- point, too? No: they did not remember them at all.

    • The only person who did was my sister. She had helped me with them herself — only for me, in my self-absorption, to subsequently forget about her.

    • I soon realised how separate we all are, and that you can only ever tell your own story.
