"I am curious if he would continue using communism throughout or it was just a very ill placed beginning of the book.

"The second part ties this chapter with the first one. What surprised me is how different the personality of Petrina and Irimias were in the outside world compared to the office. Here, they are prone to anger, prone to violent threats. Also, finally these people are the people who the villagers were talking about. I also was surprised the disdain they felt towards the villagers." Oct 28, 2025 12:26PM
