Kaye
Narrator. Daughter of Brian and Jean. Intelligent. Singular. Disciplined. Voracious reader. Obsessive. The smallest girl in her class. Her imagination might be her saviour or her downfall.
Brian
Kaye's father. Idealistic. Political(ly naive?) Proud. Flighty. Well read. Dislikes authority. Frustrated. Probably involved in some kind of criminal activity. Adulation from his wife and daughter is not enough. Desires greatness.
Jean
Kaye's mother. Beautiful. Fragile. Dark horse. A tendancy towards self absorbtion and depression. Hidden strength. Will surprise some people.
Aunty Brenda
Jean's older sister. Independent. No nonsense. Sharp. Single. Knows disappointment but is not one to dwell on it. Protective of Kaye. Fearless. Bemused at her younger sister's choice of husband. She is not without a few secrets either.
Sister Margaret
Head Mistress of St Agnes School (Kaye's primary school). Intimidating. Powerful. Shrewd. Patronizing. Unshakable faith in everything she does and says. Basically, a monster.
Amanda
Teacher's pet and school bully. Basically, Kaye's nemesis. But that might change.
