At one point Margaret tells her mother, “I feel different here, Mother. It’s as though all the rules I’ve lived by don’t seem to apply. It’s sort of unsettling.” In what ways are Margaret’s and Grace’s lives—and the lives of others in the book—changed dramatically by their move to Townsend? Do you think moves to new places can facilitate changes in people? Have you ever experienced extensive life changes through moving to a new place, meeting new people, or encountering a different culture?
The mysterious stalker in the book, who is termed Crazy Man, causes many upsets and problems spying on people and leaving little notes and warnings. What were some of these? Many of his interferences caused only annoyance, but others were more frightening. How did his note about little Ruby upset everyone, and why? How did a later event when he follows Margaret frighten everyone? How did his leaving a note for Jack’s girls cause even more problems and upset? Who does the book finally reveal that Crazy Man is? What reasons were given for why he did the things he did?
What did you like most about this book? Which character was your favorite? What aspects of this story seemed most surprising—and most satisfying?
