Discussion Questions

8 questions

1.The final revelation — the full truth of what happened with Mía, and Evelyn's role in the events surrounding her death — lands with enormous emotional force. Were you prepared for it, or did it genuinely shock you? What specific earlier details suddenly snapped into focus?

2.Evelyn's confession to Monique is not simply about clearing her conscience — she has a specific reason for choosing Monique that becomes clear at the end. How does knowing that reason change the way you understand every conversation between them that came before?

3.Monique is left, at the novel's close, with an enormous amount of power: the power to publish or suppress Evelyn's full story. How does she use that power, and do you agree with her choice?
