Those of you following along with the Stake Reading Club are probably somewhere around book 9 by now. What do you think so far? Any big questions for us? For the author?
Put your thoughts and questions in the comments, post them to our Facebook wall, or tweet us @theStake_org with the hashtag #thegirlintheroad. Your questions and comments will become part of our chat on Monday, and if you’ve got any questions for Monica, we’ll pass them along and see what she has to say.

So many thoughts! Are Yemaya and Francis Meena’s parents? Did Mariama kill them? What is with Meena not remembering Arjuna and Lucia’s names (Anwar and Cecelia!)? Did Mariama start the organization Semena Werk (recall Francis-I think it was-telling her the meaning…)? Is the barefoot girl Mariama? or Meena?
I have theories and theories. One of the best parts of the novel so far is that I truly have no idea how it will end.
(still. theories on that).
