Killing Time (cont)

‘I’m staggered by how courageous some of the women in my class are in confronting pain – theirs and other people’s,’ says Felix Penney, and it is true that Ellen Saint exhibits a forensic understanding of her own agony.

‘Since Lucas died, I’ve lived with pain every waking second of every single day,’ she tells me. ‘My life has mostly been an exercise in managing it. Right now, writing is a big part of that.’

I ask her if she thinks men would gain as much from the course as she and her fellow female students have.

‘For me, this isn’t about being a woman,’ she says. ‘It’s about being a parent.’ She is pensive for a moment, before adding, ‘Actually, maybe it is about being a woman.’
