What's the meaning of the title? I know the expression "apple never falls far from the tree"- but couldn't make it fit. If you think the answer will give away plot points feel free to mark it.

Ed Bernard Jeez. The entire book traces the similarities among sibling and families and the expression fits perfectly. You could ask why she only used the first 3 words of the expression, which is a different question, but I think the title fits perfectly.

Natalia Gago I think this question applies in two ways... one for Stan (in that he didn't fall from the tree) and Savannah (chapter 71), but can also be applied to the 4 children who grow up and show similarities to their parents.
Sarah I didn’t understand it either.
I guess it’s something to do with all the characters being related in someway but I also thought it was strange. She should have named it something to do with tennis.

Judith In Savannah's memory, the entire Delaney family was part of the tennis world that ruined her life. She never forgot their disdain & privilege, or how they all treated her the day she came to their house...bad apples from a bad family tree.
