Kate's melancholic memories of her daughter open onto the second major theme of the novel: trauma and memory. Hoag presents a number of characters who are troubled by mysterious, secret pasts. Each character's past is a mystery-within-the-mystery, and a great deal of the reader's pleasure comes from slow revelations of past events.
