Promise of Judith

Meer over het boek

She was under the impression that her troubles started with the overdose of her father. The truth is, her troubles were the residual effects of her parents buried past. Pieces she thought had just began to move in her life were actually owed for the emotional debt her parents were in. She realizes her own origins were all a portrait painted by her mother and father as her life unravels.Would her parents have made different choices if they could have predicted the consequences? Would her life had been better if they had done what society proclaims is "the right thing"? Who is to say they were not convinced they were doing the right thing? Time is the best story teller. It will keep the spoilers to itself and taunt the characters. We walked away from Edith with so many unknowns. Throughout her story, her mother in particular made unapologetic decisions. These decisions seemed to have a motivation only known to herself. Edith is very clear herself about her mother's understood privacy throughout the story. We will finally see, "private for what?"
