DISCUSSION QUESTIONS The Orphan's Tale |
1. Noa gives her newborn away but remains
bereft by the loss and tormented by visions of the child. What do you
make of her decision? I am unfamiliar with infants and I hold him at arm's length now, like a dangerous animal. But he moves closer, nuzzling against my neck. Talk about the horror of that scene in the "nursery car" (which is historically accurate). What prompts Noa to save a half-dead? 3.What do you make of Astrid, whose voice
alternates with Noa's? How has her tumultuous past shaped her character,
especially in terms of her ability to trust others? * Some questions from LitLovers. |
