What draws Anna to Nell? And Nell to Anna? How are they each not "angels" and how does this bond them?. Is Ed right to do this? Is Ed's philosophy a noble or a selfish one? Ed, looking back on his decision to work with Dexter, reflects that he needed a change, that "e'd take danger over sorrow any day of the week" (page 34).What does this passage reveal about Anna? What allows, even compels, her to shift between worlds? She had never reached the bottom" (page 26). Back and forth she went, deeperdeeper stilluntil it seemed there was no place further down she could go. And when she returned to her father, holding his hand as they ventured out into the city, it was her mother and Lydia she shook off, often forgetting them completely. "Each time Anna moved from her father's world to her mother and Lydia's, she felt as if she'd shaken free of one life for a deeper one. Possibly more than Agnes," (page 16) so painful to Ed? Why is he unable even to cope with Lydia, much less love her, as Anna and Agnes do?
