No. Not at all. Not for a moment.
Be prepared to grieve. To hurt. To understand.
The insight hits you hard.
It begins about 1/4 of the way through the book. Grosmaire is thoughtfully considering her daughter's killer (boyfriend Conor) and realizes that she doesn't wish to be mentally stuck on the idea that Conor is merely a killer. If she does this, then, she has to consider her daughter as merely the one who was killed and she doesn't want this to happen to Ann, her daughter. She knows that if you leave anyone in this position, then, you are negating the sum of your experiences with each of them.

Grosmaire realizes that when we refuse to forgive, we are accepting our status as that of a victim.
The last chapter is about forgiveness. What it really is. What it really is not. It is insightful to a degree that is otherwise, unfathomable.
