Later in the book, it becomes obvious that life is far more meaningful to these two women who grow close and apart, The bonding of these two lapsed friends is touching as is the sometimes brutal reality of endings. A beautifully written book,(less)

Do you think that the narrator’s friend died while she was sitting on the bench across from the apartment? She counts up and locates the window of the friend’s apartment. The friend is looking off into the distance but the narrator later imagines that she waved to her. Good-bye?

At first, I thought it was sexual relations they were hearing, but when the female voice starting to scream "Stop... stop" I thought maybe she was getting attacked (abused) because the son of the old lady stuck around for a bit listening at the door...not sure. I hope someone can answer your question.(less)
