“That there was a point to everything, and that there was no point at all.” - Cary’s Davies, The Mission House
This book grew on me. The first hundred pages just seemed pointless and full of the mundane happenings of loosely interwoven lives. It took me awhile to get “into” the story. But soon all the pieces clicked together and I was invested. I wanted to see how it played out and couldn’t put the book down. Like the above quote from early in the book, the story had no point but there was a point to everything.
