“Saul is as different from Simon Wakefield as it's possible to get, I find myself thinking. And Edward Monkford is utterly different from both of them. It seems incredible that Emma could have had relationships with all three men. Where Simon's eager to please, but also touchy and insecure, and Edward's calm and super-confident, Saul is pushy and brash and loud. He also has a habit of saying 'Yeah?' aggressively at the end of his sentences, as if trying to force me to agree with him.” RelationshipsPersonalityComplexCharacterizationJ P DelaneyThe Girl BeforeEmma MatthewsEdward Monkford Book:The Girl Before Source: The Girl Before

Everyone I speak to has a different version of what she was like.” PersonalityJ P DelaneyThe Girl BeforeEmma MatthewsDifferent PerspectivesConflicting Accounts Book:The Girl Before Source: The Girl Before
