Why do you suppose Cath’s brothers are so insistent that she return to Bridgehampton? What did you make of Tor’s, Frank’s, and Johnny’s characters, and their relationship with their sister?
Typical Irish brothers - overbearing but caring. It’s been awhile since I read the book so I don’t know why they wanted her back per se.
They all cared for her, but in different ways. And, they each represent a different point of view, pretty common in all families - then and now.
Tor was the oldest and felt a responsibility to protect her. The other brothers needed her at times as their only sister.
