Yes, I can see how that inconsistency works against the framework.

It just heightens the betrayal because it hurts the protagonist in the very place that she had prided herself (paying close attention; deductive reasoning). It's got a very strong "coming of age" theme: having to learn that parents aren't always so strong or honest or admirable. And yet Mila's father is wonderful compared to the other fathers on display! Certainly his crime of "withholding information" was committed for all the best reasons.<br /><br />Thanks for the warm welcome, Barrie!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-36922365029635326432015-03-04T11:25:43.475-08:002015-03-04T11:25:43.475-08:00Whoa--extra time on the treadmill!

Mila sounds like an interesting character and the book a fun read! Now to check out the other reviews--I have been devouring books during this long winter and need some new choices!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
