Rachel’s character changes in the opening chapters of the novel from being quite a passive character to becoming very determined as she finds a ‘strange calmness’ when placed in a terrifying situation. • Do you agree? What do you think about the character of Rachel? What are your first impressions of Rachel and how do you know?

  7. Eddie Race (Dad) ‘For her dad, the pain had never gone away. It was a long time since she had heard the story of how her parents had met. He never spoke of it now. He was a young fresh-faced English teacher from Birmingham, England, working abroad.’ p8 • Lara Summer (Friend) ‘Sheepishly, Lara crept in towards dinner time. Lara was pale and slim with shoulder length hair. She was the same height as Rachel, and often wore black lipstick and black nail varnish.’ p27 • Iona (Work colleague) ‘Rachel liked Iona. Iona had braided hair and a rainbow dress with customised Dr Martens boots. She was twenty, four years older than Rachel, and spoke in a breathy, girly-swirly voice.’ p24 • Lake Emerson (Reporter) ‘Lake Emerson was a guy she knew who worked on the local paper. He had been to the shop a few times, and was good friends with Lara’s older brother Joel’. p28 Other characters
