So, the tender-hearted Jackie emerges. That's always been the Jackie I've been talking to, and I think it feels good to be so moved by something that we weep with sorrow. It's such a deep release. Isn't it amazing that it's just words, and it can create this response? The power of writing, yes, and Sloane surely knows what she's doing. That brilliant last line, the cat knows her name, made me realize she'd never disclosed the name...so the privacy of her love for the cat, the handwritten letter in the hatbox, the fury that she would consider putting some stupid toy in with her ....it's all just brilliant.
