The 10PM Question
Kate De Goldi
- Reading
- Try a few chapters together or check in after the health-related worries appear. Let the reader set the pace, and talk about which questions feel funny, uncomfortable or unresolved.
- Themes
- Persistent worries: Frankie’s recurring questions cover household concerns and fears that he may be seriously ill. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Questions and family matters: Sydney’s arrival and her questions lead Frankie and his family to face matters described as long dormant. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Frankie worries about possible illness, including cancer, as well as household threats. These concerns are prominent in the premise; how distressing or reassuring their treatment feels is not clear.
