Subject: EITB questions

I have two questions about Echo In the Bone. My dh is reading it right now. I read it when it first came out so I need your insights. First question: Ian calls William cousin verbally and in writing before Williams knows who his father is. However William makes no comment about this. Why is that? Second question--is Emily's son Ian's son also? (I had thought that when I read that seciton of EITB and my dh thinks so too.)

I appreciate any help. Thanks, Mary

[> I think William assumes he does it at first to save him from the other mohawk. Later he assumes it's just Ian's manner of speaking or that he's continuing to use it as a chiding joke. -- kgp, 18:52:18 04/24/12 Tue

[> I don't think Lizard is Ian's son in the biological sense, since clearly that wasn't working. he must be the son of the other guy. But Ian claimed him as son in the like-minded-spirit sense. That was very sweet of him, and I think Emily acknowledged it. -- Susannah, 04:22:16 04/25/12 Wed

[> [> I disagree, and this has been an on-going debate. Emily conceived Ian's child at least twice, just didn't carry to term, and Claire believes this was a blood incompatibility issue. The same happened to me and xdh (I needed shots for it). Conception is not the issue, successful birth is, and that success is unusual but far from unheard of - in fact the scenario between Emily and Ian is very typical. . I do beleive Lizard is Ian's son, for various reasons - I think this is one of the things MOBY will answer. Just IMO -- jayn, 10:46:01 04/25/12 Wed

[> Jayn, I agree with you. I believe he is Ian and Emily's son and thought so the first time I read it given the interaction between Emily and Ian. -- Lady Linda, 14:24:45 04/25/12 Wed
