A beautiful piece about lost childhoods and the struggle to be gracious with your child self when you've been brought up in the spotlight. It saddened me how much Christopher's circumstances in the 1940s mirrored those of children exploited by their influencer parents in the digital age today. Even so, each of these characters, including Christopher's father, are rendered with such grace. The bittersweet note the piece ends on is just perfect.
