"This is a paradox, a cruel Word. A little girl unable to answer. When I replied, I am no longer the silent Queen. If I don't, I would not have answered questions.

But I and the father are fictional, because I have no memory. "
Mary did not deliberately gather in order to write his father's information, she was very clear that it is not writing biographies, she would write as reconstruction and memory. "I do not wish this book had too much information, I really want to do is to express this silence. Writers to stay white, and let the readers do the work. No one really cares about me and who his father was, it's not important, what is important in the reader's mind the ability to trace the outlines. "

This is a period of transition, no longer as a daughter of Roger, but as his writing. The writer appeared in the first edition, but then I also broke, and the writer, so I re wrote another version, is now publishing this edition.

Father because the precocious success ten years later to write fiction again, but he is likely to miss the novel, fiction, after all, is a way of expressing himself, but later failed the abilities. And I hope to write down, there will be no retreat when you stop writing. I Medici prize was late, it was lucky, for a writer, later winning a prize is a good thing, so writing won't be disturbed.

But in China, found that Chinese readers to watch the few works from different, deeper, not the researcher perspective. These three books are in fact constitutes an association. The beach is more like the sequel to silence the Queen, but there are many folk tales.
