First Impressions
Jan. 25th, 2015 04:07 pmFilia, aged 9, just finished reading The Last Battle a little while ago. She looked up at me and said, "I wonder what happened to Susan."
I asked her what she thought.
"I think she probably just lived a normal life."
I pointed out that she was probably really sad for a while. Filia agreed.
Then she started wondering if Susan really did remember Narnia, suggesting that maybe she hadn't forgotten forever and it was just a stage, and one day she would remember it again.
