Tamar discussion questions

1) Characterize the relationship between Tamar and Dart. How do they feel about each other? What is this relationship based on? Why doesn't Tamar tell Dart about Marjike?
2) What kind of person does it take to do Tamar and Dart's job? Why did they choose this, despite the risks? Do you think they regret it? What would you do?
3) How do you think 1995 and 1944 are connected? What makes you think that? How does the switch back and forth affect your reading?
4) What is the purpose of girl Tamar's trip? How does this match her grandfather's purpose for sending her on the trip? How is this trip changing her?
5) In the end of the book, do you agree with the decision of all the characters? Do you agree with Peet's decision as a writer? How would you have changed the end of the novel?
6) Were there any puzzles or questions left unanswered?
