Plague of the Doves

I had so many questions prior to completing this novel, and was so frustrated I nearly left it unfinished. Once everything was explained, I was definitely content. The fact that all the characters in the story are intertwined made all the crimes that were committed and all the events that happened that much more interesting. My mind immediately started flashing back to all the mini-stories and narratives, and details popped up in all the blank spaces. I saw Mooshum, drunk, belligerent and happy-go-lucky, divulging his tale to Wildstrand. I saw Tobek, delusional at the sight of his lover's slaughtered family. And then I saw Warren, committing a cold-blooded murder. Though the events became vivid and clear, the blame, hatred and grief that I would've had for the characters in those stories became blurred. I started to think : "But oh, they survived and did this later on," or "That was the past, things are ok now." I feel like this is what happens to a small community where everyone knows each other. The lines connecting them are no longer like clear-cut branches, but rather numerous, broken and reformed like those of a web.
