Each relation is cited to the chapters of the year that tell it. The publisher, the date of publication and the outline of the three women come from the review of Kirkus, read on 10 November 2026. The line from Graham to Kate’s father is an inference from the text, marked as such on the chart. The page shows no picture because the novel is in copyright.
