Hi Isabel, I appreciate that. I definitely see what you're saying. What I've seen of grief is that it's basically completely different from everything else and has an emotional vocabulary of its own - so that there's a case to be made that you can't evaluate a text about grief in the way that you would anything else. That maybe means that Pure Colour is ok - that what would be infantile in any other work is, here, actually truthful to its subject. But let me know if you still feel the same way after you pass the leaf bit!
