Quote #10

She thought of Luciente, but she could no longer reach over. She could no longer catch. She had annealed her mind and she was not a receptive woman. She had hardened. But she thought of Mattapoisett. (19.109)

Connie can't reach Luciente at the end of the book. You could see that as meaning she's become sane. But the description makes it sound more like she's insane. Like Skip, she's cut herself off from others, which is a kind of death and a kind of insanity.
