What is easy to miss in this deceptively pedestrian opening is the invitation to the reader to become part of the storytelling process through an unexpected interrelation with the implied reader: "no‚ you couldn’t have called her beautiful." Not much later‚ the reader is again made complicit in the telling of Rosemary Fell’s
