I think I must have read a library copy of Falconer's Lure while I was reading the school stories. For a long time I thought I'd imagined it, there it all was on the page. I do love a lot of scenes in this book, though I'm not sure that the whole thing hangs together. But Nicola breaking down in the middle of the singing comp (doing exactly that thing of filtering life through art) has stuck in my head for years. I've never seen Coriolanus, but I love that poem because of Jael and Nicola.
