As David advances upon him and threatens to call the police, Petrus comes between them and discourages him from taking action. Later, in the house, Lucy also tells her father not to call the authorities, and though he once again tries to talk to her about what happened, she refuses to discuss the matter.
Isaacs at work. Isaacs treats David with kindness. Back in Cape Town, David discovers that his apartment has been broken into. All of this is news to David, who thinks his daughter his making the wrong choice but knows he has no say in the matter. Worse, though, Lucy tells him that Pollux—whom she claims has certain cognitive challenges—has moved in with Petrus. Still, though, she refuses to leave. This deeply upsets David, so much that he completely loses his temper when he sees Pollux spying on Lucy through a window several days later.
When she turns away to fix this, Pollux jumps up and walks away, screaming that he will kill them. Because of this outbreak, Lucy indicates that she wants David to move out. Knowing he has only made things worse for his daughter, then, David moves to a hotel, resigning himself to working at the animal shelter with Bev Shaw and waiting for Lucy to give birth.
Because he commits so much time to the Animal Welfare League, he grows fond of a certain dog, whom he spares every week by deciding not to put him down.

Major trigger warning for rape and pedophilia, since pretty much the entire book revolves around that. His books always work on at least two levels. This book made me want to read Twilight.
Mortality is the panacea of sin. Lucy come emblema della vergogna a cui si sacrifica in una sorta di simbolica espiazione collettiva. So what is the disgrace that the title references? I have been being surprised a lot by the books I have been reading lately. Sounds like a judgment to me. View all 12 comments.
