Talk:A-level English/Wise Children/Understanding the complex family tree

Unless I'm mistaken isn't Kitty Dora and Nora's mother and Grandma Chance adopts them?

I've added a bit about Peregine's suggestion that Grandma Chance had an affair but its all hypothetical isn't it?

p12 "she was no blood relation at all" (oragne covered edition)

P35   "she was a mystery was Grandma Chance"

The line triumph of nature over nurture refers to the fact that Dora and Nora became more like GC because they were raised by her, not that GC was actually their mother although Peregrine suggests this at the end of the novel.
