I really like the way this book has connections and bridges the past and future/present. I find Sophie Mol an especially interesting character. I love her and the twins' relationship. Sophie Mol had such a different upbringing and life than the twins, yet they are not uncomfortable with each other. Also, Moths are a continuous symbol throughout the story. Papacchi was an entomologist, and when Rachel is sad and lonely it is described as a moth on her heart. I think that the moth is a special and important symbol for the family, but I don't quite understand what it means yet.

I agree with you. I thought the connection between CH.7 and Ch.8 was really nice.
I agree with you also. There was another part when Pappachi discovered a new moth species, but he didn't get credit for discovering it because someone stole his discovery.
The moth is something that i mentioned. There were many times where Rahel is sad or her mother says that she does not love her and she mentions a cold moth.
The story does move back to past and on to present. It could be interesting but it'r confusing for me. I also love Sophie Mol. Even she appears as a dead character, her character is very significant as she shows up whenever the story goes back to past. Sophie Mol is a very interesting character and somtimes she is the only connection to the twins being together and to the family.
i think its important to remember the enormous amount of similies and metaphors within the book. and i thinks its insightful of you to recognize this recurring metaphor.
