This quote perfectly foreshadows what I believe will be the importance of the rest of the book. The first chapter recalls events in her past that the narrator, Kathy, says has affected her in the present. This foreshadowing hints that Kathy and her siblings have grown closer after losing each other over a number of years. It effectively gives us an idea of the central characters and people important to the main character in the story. This foreshadowing also gives us an idea of what has happened over the years. However, it does not tell us too much information. We do not know why they were distanced, how they were related in the first place, and what has happened when they reunited. The purpose is to not give us too much information, but to guide us on the track of where the story is going from here. I am eager about the mysteries already present in this book.
