Date: Apr. 2nd, 2021 05:08 pm (UTC)I think it's so interesting (but not necessarily surprising) that many books with m/m and f/f undertones mention "that David and Jonathan relationship"! I can actually think of one example when knowing the whole story (thanks to my Catholic upbringing) spoiled a book ending for me...
What I liked best about "Living Alone" was that it involved mostly unremarkable people (well, except for the witch, haha!) Like "Lolly Willowes", it embraces the odd and the unexpected, while staying in an everyday/mundane setting, and the open ending is so hopeful and so full of post-canon possibilities! Also, the broomstick is the best, and Sarah and the witch are totally girlfriends! <3
