(25-2) I've taken a look at the answers above and I'm not sure anyone mentioned the possibility that this lovely lilttle home was not in Belfast, but more rural, to provide a bit of protection from the cruelties they have seen during the previous stint in Belfast, esp. the riots. (27-2) In reading this chapter I did feel that the father was somehow responsible for Jo's disappearance and potential death. The mother is guilty by association and doing nothing to stop the bullying and beatings her husband gave to the children. Ignoring something does not absolve one of responsibility.
