1. Why do you think Emma's mother doesn't want her to go to London?
2. Who was the man that Emma's mother saw in the market? How do you think they know each other?
3. Why do you think Emma's mother told her to go home after the man in the market said, "Circe is near"?
4. Emma's character in the story is very temperamental. Even though the story takes place in the Victorian age, how do you think Emma relates to teenagers today?
5. What do you think the vision Emma has, means?
6. Emma has to deal with the death of her mother, the pressures of attending a new school, living up to societies expectations of being a "lady", and her new/mysterious powers. How do you think Emma will cope with her hectic life, and how do you relate to the problems Emma is facing?

  1. 1. I feel as though Gemma's mother does not want her to go to London due to the fact her mother is aware of the incident about the east wing and the visions that occur. Her mother is clearly aware of these situations and does not want to put Gemma into it.
