There is one specific moment in the book when I feel sorry for Christopher. When Christopher’s father admitted to killing Wellington, Christopher felt frightened and overwhelmed, and probably didn’t truly understand the whole story. After knowing his mother’s true whereabouts, he decided to flee to London. In this situation, the saddest thing is that Christopher is scared of his own father, who became the main caretaker and kept the mother’s life secret even after she left. Christopher doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that his mother was running away from him. I predict that something very surprising is going to happen when Christopher finally meets up with his mother.
