Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
Now, I've just started this part - it's on disk 9. Looks like it's going over to the POV of the children now.

Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
I find it ironic how Royale's mother wants to control his upcoming marriage - in the way that the grandmother plagued his father's life.

There's the kids, fascinated with the Widow Bride - but what they don't realize is they actually know her - quite well.

Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
I am still awaiting for Ariah to have some redeeming qualities. By now, Royale has called off his wedding due to the strange, inexplicable encounter with the woman in black. I know we want to push toward his unraveling the mystery of his father. But Ariah is just totally irrational and just unlikeable to me.

Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
I agree. I don't find her likable at all. I've now read the book twice and still find her irritating and the cause of many problems for everyone who has contact with her.eskimommafl wrote:I am still awaiting for Ariah to have some redeeming qualities.

Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
Who was the woman in black? I thought it might be Nina Olshaker, but she could not be found as a witness when they had the second trial

Re: "The Falls", Part III Family
Good question. It's not clear if she is a live person or a spirit. I tend to think a spirit.
