Subject: 35-1) The soldier struck the old man because he was weak and vulnerable. It's easy to kick a dog that's already lying down, especially one that's also elderly. The soldier was enraged. Maybe at the enormity of his job, maybe his overall hatred for all things Republican, or Catholic. Rage can make even the best people lose control. (35-2) The helicopter scene is one of the most chilling things I've read, and imho it's one of Cindy's most powerful excerpts. I felt as though I were in free fall right along with Patrick.
In reply to: Carla 's message, "I have a busy day tomorrow, so I'm posting questions for three chapters to day. New questions will come either late tomorrow evening or on Monday morning. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I will to admit to finding this section of the book difficult to read, I can only imagine living through the writing of it, never mind actually LIVING through it. The sick feeling I get in my stomach, and my agony on Pamela's behalf are testament to Cindy's incredible skill as a writer." on 11:05:43 09/22/07 Sat

  • 36-1) All I can gather is that Joan and Thrawny are relatives of Colleen's as she tells Jamie's he's still family. I haven't figured out the exact connection. Any nun I knew/know would not hesitate to visit a Protestant, especially one she's related to. In this case, the Protestant might be reluctant to let a nun in her house, though. (36-2) Jamie seemed a little awkward with Joan but that is understandable given she sees Colleen with at least some regularity. I loved the little bird he gave her. It shows that he knows her very well, even if he hasn't visited in some time. Jamie is all class; here he is calmly visiting a Protestant household when all of Belfast is falling apart at the seams. Takes guts. (36-3) All of the above. He is a man of integrity, a man who loves Pamela and wishes only to see her happy. He'll spare no expense, and risk everything for her sake.
