Interesting preliminary insight into mental illness. Website makes me want to read the book all over again!
I believe the wife. Hector is an evil. I was expecting a true event to reference. At the end. I thought it was very realistic. She loved her son and didn’t want to embrass him. I was hoping that she was going to Hector’s funeral in the car. Better yet let the mother die too. That would be the Hollywood version. Hope this is one of many more. Please keep writing. I am an old lady and wonder if a young woman would think the same about what was true. It was a Great read!
