I first had to reread some of the parts on the relationship between Lucy and Mariah in order to understand what they brought towards each other. Lucy thought of Mariah as a mother figure, the time spent at the Great Lakes and the conversation she had with Mariah who believed daffodils were significant. Lucy felt love from Mariah, " This woman who hardly knew me loved me, and she wanted me to love this thing- a grove brimming over with daffodils in bloom- that she loved also." Lucy felt that Mariah recognized the best and worst of her own mother. When Mariah took Lucy to a field of daffodils, Lucy hated daffodils as much as Mariah loved them. Lucy's reason goes beyond her British school which she was forced to memorize a poem about this species of flower. Lucy ends up showing her forgiveness and insight towards Mariah.
Overall I am anxious to read the rest of Lucy, and to experience how the relationship plays out for Lucy and Mariah. I am ready to read on!
