I feel this book is about how one moment can change your entire life. One moment can change your entire behavior. One moment can define you as a person. Repenting an entire life about one moment can seem a sad life to lead. For me, it seemed beautiful. The idea of atonement that transforms you in a better person than you’d had been had you not sinned, is beautiful. This is what makes a character grow.
