I also liked the characters and found them very realistic. I found the story very interesting and it moved along at the perfect pace. Why did she deserve what he had first? And why was he crawling out from under the table? Peter clearly had the gloves first and Amelia was so put out for so long because he wouldn’t give them to her. The first meeting between Peter and Amelia was a little strange to me. He thinks of himself as selfish but he puts his sister first as long as things are done in a fair way. There is no way she doesn’t know about Amelia and Peter spending time together yet she never asks Amelia about it and only cares about her own comfort.Īs the story is told in first person we don’t know Peter Wood’s inner dialogue but I still feel like the reader is given a true connection to him. I think it is more about being naive but Clara comes off as selfish.
