Hmmm, this book is like those movies that show specific events of one's life during a very short period of time. There's no explanation of the whys or the hows things are that way, nor it gives us a specific closure. The reader is left to their own imagination.However, the parts that are told are detailed enough to give us feelings and to capture what the characters are going through.
