As secrets multiply and the Landrys' suspicions deepen, the novel asks a question it will keep returning to: how long do the living owe the dead their grief, and at what cost to themselves?
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Ledger's relationship with the Landrys is built on love, proximity, and a shared loss. In this section, cracks appear in that relationship. What specific actions or omissions begin to erode their trust in him?
