1. Why do you think the author chose to shift from third person to first person narrative? What does this shift achieve?
2. Do you have any mental image of Sila? What kinds of detail emerge from her deeply introspective voice?
3. Do you have any mental images of the places that Sila lived in? Are there any small details help create these images in the absence of the kind of description that third person narrative would provide?
