My mother died from cancer 6 years ago,so I took the story in a very personal way. I envied a bit that Terry and her mother had time to communicate and experience together the illness. We were robbed of this opportunity,as my mother was unexpectedly admitted in emergency and died few days after surgery. Terry`s mother seems to have been a remarkable woman.I think the writer managed to convey in a very honest way the lessons learnt during difficult time. The idea of combining life experience with experience of nature was very interesting,only I have to admit,that the story of the lake didn`t attract my attention so much.
I liked the way religion was woven into the fabric of the story. It`s as much religion,as it is spirituality,family values and bonding.
