• Added a theme: Father-Son Relationship: Much of the inspiration for the novel's two heroes comes from Homer's Telemachus and Odysseus and their interrupted and ultimately healed relationship. "The son is rare who measures with his father." --The Odyssey
• marked the description of Father-Son Relationship as not a spoiler
• Added a theme: The contrast of warmth and cold: The settings of the novel are dominated by the contrast between warm and cold. An actual historical event, a late spring snowfall, plays a part in the final crisis of the novel. The plot moves characters from the cold into the warmth.
