Because we read this novel as Will's memoir, we get to see very little of Claire Featherstone's inner life and thoughts. Can you imagine the events of this novel narrated in Claire's diaries? How do you think she would describe her relationship to Will or to Featherstone?

What do you think of the language used by Will and Claire as teenagers? Is the author purposely being lyrical due to the older Will's "mis-recollection" of events?
