I really like that! It makes sense that Lucy would remember more as she caught up to herself -- that as a child in England, she'd remember her Narnian childhood and only a child's glimpses of her adult life, because otherwise reliving those years would be too much to bear.
I like the way Lucy tells stories to her schoolmates and helps them through the troubles of adolescence. (Relatedly, I would love to read the book she made of her life story at Polly's suggestion.) I like the everyday details of the paperwork involved in her job, and the way she, Susan, and Edmund live together in London and go out swing dancing for fun. I like that Edmund is the one who realizes they've almost caught up to themselves and wonders what will happen then. And I really like that at the end, Lucy realizes that she and Edmund belong to both worlds; that they can be themselves in England and that while it will never be Narnia, it is also their home.
