I feel that so far in the book that the author has used foreshadowing, gender equality, race equality, and timing very well.
All of these 'themes' fit together quiet well. Because Aminta is female and not white and the time that the book takes place in is long ago, you know that not many good things are really going for her. She is constantly surrounded by loss of friends by seperation and by death. I think that the fact that she lost everything then gained back her husband might tell us that she will get some dreams in her life coming true. I think the dream will be that she will make it back to Africa and possibly back to her village.
I found that as I read the book that I became very attached to Amintia. Her character is very comforting, almost motherly like, which I find very comforting.
Overall I am really enjoying the book and the way the author has wrote it. I find it predictable but not too revealing. I found that I knew when the bad things were going to happen but not what they were going to be.
