Setting: The action takes place first in their house and then in Gardle Head, where they
traveled.
4.The best thing is that those children survived because their father did not kill them,
but unfortunately they were left without their father, whatever he was, in their eyes.
5.I didn't like the fact that their father killed himself, it would have been nicer if he

2. managed to heal and live the rest of his life in peace with his children.
6.Of course I would recommend this book to my friends, it's very good even if it doesn't
have a happy ending. But it's definitely very good and I definitely recommend reading
it.
