Everyone only thinks we're from the past, but then we're here, but they don't know we're still here, so it's like we're in the future. Like time travellers would feel.
The drama often turns on ill-starred characters playing bad hands badly. Pressure to make ends meet and the desperation of addiction, fed over the book's century-and-a-half span by everything from looted whisky to home-concocted narcotics, are recurring themes.
