The visitor called Charlotte is lighting up this room. Robert is enchanted: “The name CHARLOTTE lights up like a word in a neon sign. Salinger’s Holden Caulfield.Īrt and Charlotte, a couple who no longer are coupling, live in his deceased mother, Sophie’s, house with Sophie’s sister, Iris, “a seasoned lefty activist.” They had found Sacha and taken her to the emergency room to have the egg timer removed from her hand, and brought her home. When Robert glues a glass egg timer to his sister’s hand, he texts “from now on u always have time on uyr hands.” She texts back “Thanks for the exceptional bonding experience.” They are the most delightful children since J.D. The siblings argue fiercely, enjoy jokes together. Robert is brilliant and “what mother calls intransigent, what her father calls acting like a bloody moron and what Ashley, if Ashley were to speak out loud, would call something so expletive that their father would literally have to leave her and move back home again.”
