Theme: Reinterpretation

Epilogue

Years later Barbara is a student in Munro’s class; the ancient artifact and Kaia’s Gaian poem complete the novel’s movement from imposed interpretation toward received meaning.

Barbara begins as a bully in Rowan’s ordinary life and later, after addiction/collapse/recovery, becomes a student in Munro’s class and part of the novel’s final demonstration that people are not reducible to their worst interpretation.
