    Summary

    During the hunting of the white stag, it is Susan who says they should turn back. It is Susan who says they shouldn't go past the lamp-post. Is is Susan who is ignored, and it's Susan who's proven right in the worst possible way when they all tumble out of the wardrobe, sans fifteen years, four crowns, and the world they'd called home.

    As it happens, Susan is still bitter.

    (title from The Pugilist by Keaton Henson)

    Summary

    It’s absurd, she tells herself. She’s being hysterical, unreasonable. What kind of mother looks at her own children and feels fear seize the back of her neck?

    Still, she sits up long after they’ve gone to sleep, the four of them, still in the same room, still communicating wordlessly in ways she cannot understand, and stitches rowan twigs and half-formed prayers into the linings of their coats with red thread and pricking fingers.

    Still, months later, she finds herself waiting for them to come home.

    (or, the children helen welcomes home are not the ones she sent away.)
