I have mixed feelings about the leap ahead in time at the end of the book. It felt abrupt. Yet I liked knowing how their experience of reacting to Gemmy influenced their future lives. Therefore I think that this book could benefit from a rereading with this knowledge. Caleb, thank you for the analysis of the title. As I was reading it was always on my mind to think about what the significance of the title was. It took awhile for the pieces to fit together for me. I like the way you summed up your perspective. |

I enjoyed this. For its ultimately heavier subject matter and symbolic nature, it felt like a light book moving airily along while illuminating the various characters’ lives in and near the small outpost town. Thanks Bookpossum for originally nominating it.
