Her sister’s awards speech nods to the four Gospel writers before a deliberately awkward prize mix-up sparks a feminist outburst

A mouse in the attic may reflect Dad’s anxiety about marriage, while a bus display reading Dollner Avenue honours editor Gary Dollner

Even the recurring fox remains deliciously ambiguous, possibly symbolising desire, guilt or the audience itself.
