Author dodges how Elle would deal with the potential loss/damage to her children. I never really liked Elle either. She had multiple chances to do the right thing and always took the wrong path. She was a pithy, selfish woman. I get she had a bad upbringing but enough nurturing to understand how to better life for her own children. Not a likable character. And when Jonas holds Elles hands down, we lose respect for his character. Peter's resistance to swim chips away at his grandness. In the end, too much disfunction to justify the selfishness.(less)
