How has your approach to teaching shifted over the years? The reader knew pretty early on that Spence had dementia, and was just waiting for Pru to catch up, and that waiting period wasn’t very interesting. For 200 pages, Pru refused to recognize what was staring her in the face, which made her seem more obtuse than she was and drained some of the tension from the novel.
