As I come closer to the end of the book I begin to like Sophie’s character a little more. Even though Sophie and her mother had many problem in the past (mostly because of the test) I like the fact that they were both able to overcome their problems, so they can maintain a healthy mother-daughter relationship. I also like the fact that Sophie started to go to a sexual phobia group (therapy), I feel that it was well need for her.  For Sophie to be around people that have a type similar story to why they are having problems with sex and how that problem has affected their lives is good, I feel that these group meetings is helping Sophie to get over her problems with sex and the “Test”. Lastly Sophie’s mother passing, I really wasn’t surprised that Sophie’s mother took her own life. Often in the book Sophie’s mother nightmares got even worst because of the pregnancy, she even stated that everywhere she looked she saw the face of the man who raped her. I believe that the pregnancy made Martine go insane, she truly believed that her baby was a boy and that he was tormenting her. The reason I wasn’t surprised Marine took her own life was because of the gathering she had at her house (with Marc, Joseph and Sophie). At this gathering Joseph was singing Martine’s favorite spiritual “Sometimes I feel like a motherless child”,she then stated that “ I want that sung at my funeral”. I don’t know why but when Sophie’s family mentions something about funerals they tend to believe that their time has come.
