Quirk must use her skills as a narrator to suggest interpretations of events (many fairly disastrous) outside of Nona’s understanding, and her compelling and moving performance will please fans of the series. She woke up six months ago in a body that seems to belong to someone else, but is enthusiastic and delighted by almost everything she encounters. Quirk’s portrayal of Nona is utterly captivating.
