Every book presents its own specific challenges, or should, and you're right that this one has a preoccupation with uncertainty.

Sabina Murray

I'm about to rupture something," he was informed, as the big, gaily wrapped box she was carrying smacked into the small of his back again. She had an uncanny ability to hit the same spot every time.
