sscrph Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Wonder which 'him' we are referring to... Gideon, Cary, Victor, Stanton..... ? I think this must refer to Gideon; remember when Cary said in RIY " you ever stop to think he might always have secrets". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie54 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thank you all for your kind thoughts. It isn't looking good for Oklahoma right now. This is a rain wrapped tornado which hides the actual twister. Very scary. Morning Sharon I'm hoping your family are safe this morning. Sending you my best wishes. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN Cronan Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Will you ever really know all of him? Â This guy hasn't even let the author herself inside him (per that fascinating interview Sylvia gave, in which she explained her characters come to her imagination fully-formed, and the reason she doesn't plan -- at this time -- to write stuff from Gideon's point of view is that he has kept himself closed off even from her.) Â Well, the man at least has some serious explaining to do to Eva. And no more keeping secrets from her -- she'll walk if he goes back to that. I think that he's at last figured that out though. Plus he knows he's lost her trust through his own fault, so moving forward his words have to match his actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheens263 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I think it was his abuse and his mother's neglect. The worst thing for a child is for something to happen to them and the person of authority and who's supposed to be your safe haven practically thinks you're the problem.  He lost his father and the support he needed after that wasn't there. I agree, it must have been a culmination of everything pair wee soul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheens263 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Someone thought that Elizabeth had an affair with Chris snr, hence them getting married so soon after Geoffrey's death. I never thought of that but it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheens263 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found this site. So many of my dad's family live in the Kansas / Oklahoma area and they are bracing for more tornadoes right now. It is good to have a good to have something to focus on while I wait for updates. I have heard on the news today that the tornadoes are worse today and sadly more people have died, I do hope thing settle down soon for everyone and your family are safe Sharon xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheens263 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Wonder which 'him' we are referring to...

Kirsten Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Someone thought that Elizabeth had an affair with Chris snr, hence them getting married so soon after Geoffrey's death. That was me Julie. I think that because Gideon had said Geoffrey and Elizabeth had been fighting constantly, plus she moved on so quickly. We know he didn't abuse Gideon, but Gideon feels the need to have control over CV Sr.. So I thought that Gideon might blame Chris for his dad's suicide. The affair being the final straw in a very stressful time for Geoffrey. I also wonder about Chris and Geoffrey being friends... which might explain a bit of Gideon's comment at the garden party about Cary being Eva's friend and therefore "his." Like you've crossed that line once already, and realize it was wrong perhaps... don't do it again. It just a thought, but one that I still think.
