Everyone here drifts, to escape pain seemingly inherited from previous generations. Orvil loses himself in music and drugs, Jacqui with drinking, Opal with long walks, Lony with cutting. The wandering offers a short escape from their traumatic history, but characters like Lony know how important it is to return, to appreciate one‘s fixed place in the constellation of a family tree that holds you and still has plenty of good things to pass along.
