But the need for justice gnaws at Nefertiti. She must rely on her own resourcefulness and skills (all those secret archery lessons prove very useful) as the fugitives fight to survive. ![]() Traveling with two of her dearest friends, including the crown prince’s brother, who helped her escape, Nefertiti takes shelter in the wild hills along the Nile’s west bank.

For Liam, this painting represents the way he has thrown away his ambitions, desires, and potential to be at Scarlett’s beck and call. In another painting that hangs in Liam’s room, Scarlett depicts the most secret and evil part of Dark Place: the hidden tunnel that becomes the repository of the corpses of Guy Croft and Zach. The Night She Disappeared Part 5, Chapter 61-Epilogue Summary & Analysis Part 5, Chapter 61 Summary: September 2018 In her police interview, Mimi describes the hold Scarlett has over her and the others: there’s always the fear that she would cut you out, just like that, if you displeased her (356).

The conversational style can be slack and cliched, speckled with reflections on philosophical questions about ageing, identity, memory and what it is to know oneself. The playfulness with the identity of the narrator might be more rewarding, were it not for the stretches of tepid, underpowered writing. Even so, the women in this book are remarkably less complex, less individual, than the men, existing primarily as a pretext for the male characters to find out, or fail to find out, about themselves. Murakami, by his own account, is less interested in creating complex characters than in the interaction his characters have with the world in which he imagines them.
