`LEFTOVER LIFE TO KILL'

SIR,—Two words in a quotation from Caitlin Thomas's Leftover Life to Kill were left out of my review of the book on June 7, and I should be grate- ful if you would allow me to put this right. The sen- tence as it appeared read : 'Children do not need love'; it should have been : 'Children do not know they need love.' I apologise sincerely to Mrs. Thomas. —Yours faithfully,
