"But the fact was, I suppose, there were powerful tides tugging us apart by then, and it only needed something like that to finish the task. If we'd understood that back then--who knows?-- maybe we'd have kept a tighted hold of one another." (NLMG, page 197)
I know that this comes as a shock, but I don't know what to think about this. It baffles me how well the author tied in the title to the rest of the book while still making it interesting! If it were up to me to name this book, I'd probably say something like Ruth, Tommy and Kathy's Adventures During and After Hailsham.Would it include everything that happened? Yes. Would you fall asleep before you got past the comma? Yes. I love how the title ties in to every part of Kathy's life: from Hailsham with her doll, to them going their seperate ways for donations, to loosing Ruth. Big stuff!
