Discussion Questions

1) Do you think Linnet and Myna fit the typical older/younger sister mold? Why or why not?
2) Which sister do you relate to more, Linnet or Myna?
3) The mother’s clinical depression was never openly discussed by the family, and therefore went largely untreated. How did this affect the family members separately? How did this affect the family as a whole?
4) The care of the aging father falls solely on the older sister, Linnet. Is this fair? Should her younger sister, Myna, step up and take on more responsibility in his care?
5) Is it fair to Linnet’s husband and son to expect them to help in the care of Linnet’s and Myna’s father?
6) Do you think certain characters in the novel should be held criminally liable for their actions? Or were they just morally liable?
