Revelations (Chapters 17-19)

Well this would be the part of the book where we learn everything we don't already know. I don't feel as if the information about Abbey's grandmother was as shocking as it could have been. It is sad, though and offers some insight into Rose's despicable character. With women like those it's a wonder Abbey turned out as well as she did. As for Jacey I can honestly say I did not see that coming in any way, shape or form. It certainly is bizarre. I looked back to see if there was some clue, but I think the point is that Kit actually made himself believe she was dead. Poor man, I guess he didn't know what he was getting into with her. She certainly turned up at an inconvenient time and she sure seems to have some kind of power over Kit. It's no wonder he had to kill her in his mind to be free of her before. The one question that no one is probably asking right now though, is where did Fee go on the tractor?

Note: Today was the first time I actually thought some cheese might taste good and had some along with a glass of grape juice while I was reading...may have something to do with the time of day. I'm normally hungry around lunch and sick around dinner and the evening when I usually read. Today I read just after lunch.

When I first saw the title of the post, I thought "Huh, did some one find those three chapters of the Bible particularly relevant to the end of the book--how strange." And then of course it was about what was revealed at the end of the book.

For some reason, I had/have no trouble believing that Kit convinced himself that Jacey was dead. I had more issue with how quickly and deeply Kit and Abbey got together--how he knew he wanted to be old and forever with her.

But I cried (on the tube in London) when I read about Corrie's death, though looking back it wasn't wholly unexpected, the fact that he wasn't able to save his own daughter but he did hundreds of other girls. ::sniff::
