“Freya remembered noticing that after Don had said his bit he kept nodding, as though his sentence continued on, unheard, in his head. He strongly agreed with himself.”
Dunthorne is good with details, like this one, which advances and crystallizes Don’s character (in this case, a young, nascent student Don) in a detail. Which serves the comedy very well, even if it means that the book is rather less quirky for its realism than I expect it would like to be.
