Nick’s birth mother and Jo have marital problems, and he must rethink his relationships with both parents.
Nick is placed “in the middle” when the adults’ marriage has problems and no longer feels able to turn to both mothers for advice.
Pay attention to how Nick is placed “in the middle” and how the adults’ marital problems affect his sense of support.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
