#but NO ms funke put her foot down and said dustfinger will knowingly pursue this married woman even tho he knows her family

Cornelia Funke, writing a children's/YA story in 2002/2003, deciding to give all the adult characters POV chapters, and including a love triangle with a married woman:

#inkheart #cornelia funke #i just reread the reveal that dustfinger was fully aware who resa was from the moment he saw her and like...that didn't have to be the case! #it would've been sooo easy to make him unaware...like wait I've never met her your photograph was blurry it's been years etc etc #but NO ms funke put her foot down and said dustfinger will knowingly pursue this married woman even tho he knows her family #and honestly good for her #like i think adultery is wrong but it's compelling and unsurprisingly rare in children's books lmao
