remaking the unmade person

I have just been reading Maeve Binchy's short stories. Apparently I have had them for years and had not known it :0. The story Euston resonates with my own life and the lines: "It had been a bad thing to have had Dana stay. It had been a bad thing for twenty six years, but she only realised it now, when she was as far as she ever was from being as right as rain." sound rather prophetic...
