Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- Why two narratives? Would Taylor's story be as meaningful without the inclusion of Hannah's manuscript excerpts? Why or why not?
- Speaking of Hannah's book, why are all the pages mixed up? What is it about a non-chronological structure for this part of the novel that adds to the story?
- How do the relationships between the three factions change throughout the book? What's responsible for this change?
- What's Taylor like before she learns the truth about her past? How does the knowledge change her by the end of the book?
- Jellicoe Road has its fair share of suffering characters. How do the characters' painful experiences ultimately play a positive role in their lives?
