A Slender Thread- Suspense/Foreshadowing

This book is taking me longer to read than usual. It isn't a boring a book. It is just a slow book. Quite honestly there is nothing happening. Grammy and the 5 sisters are just talking. Yet, even there there is zero action, there is tons of suspense. I have a feeling that something big is about to happen.


There are three parts to this book and I have just finished part 1. Part 1 is what I reckon to be the introduction. It's like a long setting; sort of like Things Fall Apart.


Anyways, I can't really explain why I think something big will happen. I can just sense it. For example, Ashley (the oldest) is married and has 2 boys that she adores. However, I think they are going to die and that she will fall back in love with her high school sweetheart that she re-met at the funeral. I think they are going to die because she just called home (she is staying at with Grammy) and Jack, her husband, didn't pick up. Something just seemed fishy. Also, Harry, Ashley's first love, is engaged but is thinking of canceling it. This is just one example from one of the five sisters.


So even though this book is slow and sometimes boring, I'm gonna push through and continue reading because I think that something big and exciting is about to happen. Hopefully, that something will happen.
