Pelion Branch Library - Spine Crackers Book Club discussion

Juliet asks fellow sailor Amira about her marriage. "Marriages have failure points, just like boats, she said. You sail a boat through rough weather and the failure points are revealed, yes? Or would you rather not know?-If you would rather not know the failure points, she said, do not go sailing."
I can relate to this as I can remember trips with my parents, who usually were on the same page, but put us all in a camper for three weeks and we would see the weak points. They must have fixed most of those failure points because they are now full time motorhomers!
