I think one of my favorite elements of this story is that the narrator is a geriatric mother, a woman who is no longer in her youth and has known something of life. She is able to make her own decisions, to weather the events of the story with an heir of maturity. She does not come across as helpless or desperate, but rather reasoned and resourceful. I'm glad the story was told from her perspective.
