Default between-the-lines

I like that for its narrative style, elliptically packed with nuanced implications for the reader to decode (social class, identity problems, mating behaviour, blokes, mothers, etc.). Not sure about 'insensible': tongue-in-cheek, or an index of her restricted vocabulary in that she genuinely thinks it's the opposite of 'sensible' meaning plain, no-nonsense, etc?
