Antonia Forest fans, help please!

Dd has remembered a scene where someone eats someone else’s milk skin for them. She’s convibced it’s Marlows. I can’t remember it. Anyone?

I can’t remember it from Marlows.

There’s a recurring theme surrounding a parent eating skin from milk in Elizabeth Jane Howard’s Cazalet series.

Yes, that rings a bell. I think it involved Lawrie? Either Autumn or End of Term, I reckon.

My copies are in the loft so I can’t check!

Or Falconer’s Lure, as that’s the only non-school one I have and have read more than once.

“There’s a recurring theme surrounding a parent eating skin from milk in Elizabeth Jane Howard’s Cazalet series.”

Oh- I wonder if she’s remembering that. They occupy the same sort of position in our lives as the Marlows!

Oh- I wonder if she’s remembering that

Rupert eats skin from Clary’s milk in the first book, when he and Zoe return from a night out to find Neville having an asthma attack.

Later when Rupert is missing, Archie Lestrange does the same for Clary.

I bet she is-I remember it now. Lovely Archie.

I can’t imagine any of Forest’s boys doing that. They’d make Anne do it for them........

Actually, not make her. Just expect her to.

I can't recall this from any AF book, sorry.
