REFLECTION AND READING GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. Which aspects of the story did you find to be intriguing or moving?
2. Are there any details or characters you wish you could know more about? If so, explain.
3. Describe why you really liked one (or more) of the story’s characters.
4. If you had been in Owen’s shoes, would you have made any different personal or professional choices? Why or why not?
5. One of the subtle but major themes included throughout the book is that of names. How and where do you see this theme woven in? And why are names so important throughout ones life?
6. Another subtle but major theme is that of the repeating nature of life – how the ebbs and flows of life cause us to develop patterns in responding to circumstances, and how the way we raise our children can lead to the formation of positive or negative generational trends. Where (if any places) did you notice cycles in the behavior and development of Peggy and Annie – in each of their lives, and also in the way these mother and daughter lives reflected each other?
7. Though it’s set starting two centuries ago, this story contains elements and shadows of some  issues that are surprisingly contemporary. Which of those issues (if any) stood out to you, and what do you think of the ways in which different characters dealt with them?
8. Do you wish you could have lived on Nantucket during the golden age of whaling? Explain.
