On page 23, one of my favorite lines, and I even wrote a little heart by it. And after I read it, I went and shared it with my family as well. I asked Grazina when her husband died, how did she know? And she said, when does anybody die? She shrugged when God says, well done. So I would love to know what that line means to you. Yeah, thank you.

I do. I really related to the relationship between Grazina and High when I was reading this book. My grandmother moved in with my family almost 20 years ago, and she also has dementia. So there were a lot of moments where she fell and we had to rush her to the hospital. So seeing High go through that same thing felt really familiar.

So, Oprah, I was wondering, is there a character relationship storyline in this book that really resonates with you?

So my question actually is in reference to the hog butchering scene. You mentioned emperor hogs at that point. Wayne, I think, is describing the emperor hogs. And there's also frequent reference to penguins through Sony's Origami and his dream where he describes the people in the town as little penguins in little houses. It made me think of emperor penguins. So this brings me to the title.
