Explore "Life and Death of Harriett Frean" by May Sinclair on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In all her previsions of the event she had seen herself surviving as the / same Harriett Frean with the addition of an overwhelming grief. She was / horrified at this image of herself persisting beside her mother's place / empty in space and time.
But she was not there. Through her absorption in her mother, some large, / essential part of herself had gone. It had not been so when her father / died; what he had absorbed was given back to her, transferred to her / mother. All her memories of her mother were joined to the memory of this / now irrecoverable self.
