Can I understand the "glows into life" in two ways at the same time: 1.the
laptop screen lights up, and this bring the narrator back into the reality
and life. Because what the narrator have described in the beginning of
this novel, it makes someone feel like the narrator is in a very good
place, say fairyland or heaven.2. the laptop screen lights up, and become
live like a human being.
it seems the author plays a wordplay here.
Thank you in advance!
The context is :
Our geriatric radio – a wedding-present from my brother – is twittering
away to itself. I'm about to knock on the glass, but your laptop screen
glows into life: and suddenly here's our son's hazy face, bringing you
news from across the ocean. What a world. He's just had scrambled eggs and
tomatoes for breakfast, he says, his course is just awesome.



Excerpted from David Mitchell's novel "The Gardener" partly:
That shimmering gong of a sun has less than a minute to go before it sinks
out of sight. Snowdrops under the holly. Virgins in old tales. Primroses,
lipstick-red and butter-navelled. Bantering, cheerful tarts. Crocuses
unsheathing around the silver birches. Satin white, Persian purple,
oil-paint yellow. When I planted these birches they were
broomstick-height, and now look at them. They tap our bedroom window on
stormy nights. Hyacinths on (what I fondly call) my rockery. Boy-blue and
girl-pink. Through the kitchen double-doors I watch you eating supper –
carrot and coriander soup – and leafing through Country Living Magazine,
dreaming of houses uncluttered by reality, by half a lifetime of memories,
perhaps. But my, how well you look. White hair endows you with the
demeanour of a friendly witch. Our geriatric radio – a wedding-present
from my brother – is twittering away to itself. I'm about to knock on the
glass, but your laptop screen glows into life: and suddenly here's our
son's hazy face, bringing you news from across the ocean. What a world.
He's just had scrambled eggs and tomatoes for breakfast, he says, his
course is just awesome.
