Pinnock describes Enid as strict but protective, trying to prepare her daughters for a harsh world. Del and Viv are complex characters inspired by Pinnock’s love of strong female roles. Pinnock explains that characters sometimes act against expectations to support each other. Pinnock says Brod and Mai show how the community supports and guides the younger generation.
