Consequently, to Claire, the family felt fragmented and distant. Because Fiona was wrapped up in caring for her friends who were dying of AIDS during Claire's childhood, the attention that she should have been giving her daughter was directed elsewhere. Cult SymbolĬlaire has joined a cult and cut all ties with her mother primarily because to her the cult is a symbol of family which is something that she has long been seeking. Paris is also a connection between the different themes of the book it transects the art world in which Yale lives and works, the gay community that has been lost represented by the photographs on Richard's walls, and also Fiona's tumultuous relationship with her daughter who has gone to Paris with the cult she has become wrapped up in.
The realities of Paris are very different in each era yet there is also a parallel between them in both cases, the characters that the author writes of have fled to Paris in search of something and also because they do not fit in where they come from. The city of Paris is a constant throughout the novel firstly, in its 1920s heyday, and subsequently in the present day.
