I think the biggest secret being kept from the readers by the author is at the end of the book. We know that Gail and her boyfriend were having problems and they seperated- he went for another woman. In the story Gail travels to where the woman lives and begins writing Mr. Thornaby letters. After Mr Thornaby realizes it is Gail he is writing the letters to, he informs her, Gail gets nervous and flies back home. The biggest question for me is Do they get back together? What happens after she goes back home?
This secret is similar to a secret in The Road in the fact that we are left hanging in the end in both books. We do not know what happens in the end of either books.
Im not sure if I think this secret is significant but it does leave the readers curious and wishing there was more to read.
