[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was Sadie’s trauma?[/quote] Her sisters cancer as a child- it’s very common for siblings to have impacts as their needs are ignored. She had an unhealthy relationship with her professor which borderlines on abuse. [/quote] This is OP again. I did not think Zevin portrayed the sister's cancer as a trauma for Sadie. I think that a sibling's illness certainly can be a trauma, but it was barely mentioned later and wasn't mentioned as having significant emotional impact to Sadie or the sister. As for her professor, I did not understand how Zevin was intending to portray that. I said upthread that I thought it was bordering on abuse as well, but Sadie remained cordial with him and didn't seem to see it that way. I guess that is why I just didn't have the sympathy for how she treated Sam. Anyway, very interesting discussion. Thanks to all for sharing their thoughts. [/quote]
