Letter "N" » normal family
«To each other, we were as normal and nice as the smell of bread. We were just a family. In a family even exaggerations make perfect sense.»
«One of the oddest features of western Christianized culture is its ready acceptance of the myth of the stable family and the happy marriage. We have been taught to accept the myth not as an heroic ideal, something good, brave, and nearly impossible to fulfil, but as the very fiber of normal life. Given most families and most marriages, the belief seems admirable but foolhardily.»
