Tides of Honour, Genevieve Graham


Tides of Honour

(Tansley Reads Rating: 72%)

Questions

 

1.  What did the title “Tides of Honour” mean to you?

 

2.  Danny tries to help his brothers understand killing in war (pg 152-3).  He contrasts killing a man with killing a rabbit, something that they could relate to.  How could Danny have explained war to Audrey and his parents to help them understand his experiences?

                     

3.  At Jeddore, Audrey is alive and happy and feels loved and accepted and immerses herself into her art, “as if she saw beyond the lines and colours.” (pg 199)  In the church in Halifax, she is conflicted. She thinks, “If God was art, she accepted that he was in her soul, but she didn’t plan to come back and visit him anytime soon.  The ups and downs of being in his house were too hard on her heart.” (pg 248) Do you think she would describe herself as spiritual or religious? And why?

 

4.  Neither Danny nor Audrey seemed to really like/trust Pierre, so why did each of them believe him when Pierre told them that their spouses were dead?

 

5. What was the turning point for Danny that got him beyond his self-hatred?

 

6.  Quick round: What did you think of the book? Is there anything you want to discuss that we missed?
