There is a second one with me in it, which is called Family, and which is used for logistics and photographs of dogs.

After the wedding, Teddy gave me about four hundred messages from the first one, printed, on her own initiative, and said, “You need to read these and you’re going to hate it and I think you have to.”

What is in them is not six children with one opinion.

It is six people with six mothers.

Odile was eleven. She remembers everything.

She remembers the eleven days in September.
