In fact, I wonder if Marian ever came across this how to write book I've been reading. If she read it and thought, 'You smug bastard. With your 'don't do this, and don't do that, it's too hard, it won't work...' I'll feckin well show you' (she's Irish, she's allowed to say feckin')

Good on Marian!! I love writers that turn the 'rules' upside down and in the process, create memorable and clever work.
