Since finishing, I have found my thoughts returning again and again to the character of Edgar's mother. Not to give too much away, but at the conclusion of the book, she is one character for whom there is no resolution. She does not understand anything that has transpired in the lives of the other characters. She is the center hub for every other spoke in the family (as are most wives and mothers), and she is the one that is left alone, condemned to the rest of her life without any explanation of what has occurred. I think it would be great to read/write another novel that dealt with her story, both during the events of this novel, and her life after the conclusion of the events in this novel.
