Uddrag
The wall of Mount Wellington has very different meanings to the two main ladies. Shirley sees it as a great wall that is protecting them. Gracey on the other hand sees it as a big threat. “One day it would shrug and shake all Hobart into the sea, and not think twice about it.”
A lot of bad things had happened in the water, like people boiling alive and people being murdered, so it is understandable that Gracey saw it as something frightening.
When Shirley made the choice of not stopping the father from leaving, it was like she made her daughters live the same way she did, and not caring about the consequences for them.
The daughters lose their freedom, as individuals, when their mother chooses to live her life that way. When your mother sleeps with her best friend’s husband, and you all get exiled from the community, it affects you.
