But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. Ten-year-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki.
