He’s a paramedic now and good at his job, but it’s still a source of tension between them. Sean, the older of the two, was forced to give up his dream of going to med school in order to take care of Finn. They’re on their own in Bone Gap their mother remarried and took off, leaving them to fend for themselves. Their relationship is complicated, possibly in a way that only relationships with siblings can be complicated. In a book full of peculiar gaps in reality, kidnapped girls, and even a mysterious horse, it’s the relationship between Finn and Sean O’Sullivan that stands out the most. And since Finn, Sean’s younger brother, who’s always been a bit spacey, was the last person to see her before she disappeared, that person is him. The people there love her -especially Sean -which is why, when she goes missing they need someone to blame. They don’t know too much about her and what she’s running/hiding from, but it doesn’t matter. It’s also about the people who reside there, particularly, the O’Sullivan brothers, Finn and Sean, and Roza, the girl who lives in the spare room above their barn. This story could have taken place yesterday, but it also feels like it could have taken place decades ago.īut Bone Gap isn’t just a novel about the town, just like Twin Peaks isn’t just a TV series about that town. They spend their time working on the farm, hanging out at the diner, or building fences rather than checking their e-mail and binge watching Netflix. New technology exists in their world, but it’s not an essential part of everyone’s life. I like that this novel takes place in modern times, but when you’re in Bone Gap, it felt like you were stepping through a veil and back in time. And that’s just one of the reasons why Bone Gap isn’t like other towns. Gaps no one talks about, but that deep down everyone knows exists. Just like the name suggests, Bone Gap is a town full of gaps.
