Spoiler **

Some themes of the novel:

Family - in particular sticking up for/with them (applies to both Bennett and the Teacher)

Affluence - especially snobbery that hides an ugly side (eg Erica and her parents. I like the line 'it costs a lot to be rich'. Erica's mum domineering behaviour is overshadowed by a breakdown.

Handling loss - Bennett, the Teacher and Erica's parents in particular.
