May we — and those yet to come — continue to read Gillian’s books, savoring the pages, the paragraphs, the sentences, and the very words through which she has brought people’s lives back “from the quiet darkness of forgetting.”

As the tribute notes, placing her own ‘scholarly rigour and imaginative sympathy’ at the service of bringing common people back ‘from the quiet darkness of forgetting’, especially by tracing their lives through the objects they touched and the houses they inhabited.
Thank you for this moving tribute.
