Review:
Suffer a Sea-Change is a novella included in Night and Silence that shows some of the story (and a little beyond) from the point of view of Toby's daughter Gillian. It's really hard to talk about what happens in this story without giving spoilers for Night and Silence so I'm going to keep this review pretty vague and I want to warn you not to read this before the full length book.
I've never really been that interested in Gillian's character, she's been estranged from Toby for so long and I'm not sure why but in my head she's always seemed really young even though she's now at college studying and probably about the same age as Quentin really. Night and Silence had some really interesting revelations about Toby's past and her relationship with Cliff and Gillian though so this was a perfect follow up and I really enjoyed getting the chance to see Toby through Gillian's eyes.
You can't really blame Gillian for being resentful, she was very young when Toby vanished and since Cliff believed she'd willingly run off and abandoned them he never tried to help mend their relationship when Toby returned, in fact he went out of his way to keep Toby out of their lives, so Gillian doesn't really have a lot of reason to trust Toby. I was glad that she seemed willing to think about things from Toby's point of view though and although there is a long way to go before Gillian will ever trust her mother I really hope we'll see them build bridges as the series continues. Whatever happens certain revelations are bound to have a big impact so it's going to be interesting to see what happens!
