Hmmm... interesting. I didn't see it that way, just thought he killed himself like so many others did during the stock market crash of '29.9. I felt the author was making a statement about suicide being a cowardly act and I disagree.
Not much. Though I was shocked when it turned out he was still alive!Question within a question: What did you think of Rick, Eleanor's husband?
Yes. For those kids, the mother being murdered and the father going to jail was probably the best thing that could have happened for their futures.2) Uncle Arthur--would like more of his story and of Connie's, especially after they took the kids in.
Sorry to read that. Hopefully we'll pick books you'll like better in future months.3) Yes, I did have to force myself to get through the book. I really pushed it the past week.
