Discuss how Montimore uses pop culture to evoke the different eras through which Oona travels. Do these references ultimately emphasize the discontinuity or continuity of Oona’s life?

While Oona doesn’t usually pass on spoilers to herself about the future, she does when it comes to investing. What role does Oona’s money play in the novel?

Character names are often important, and the name “Lockhart” evokes particular imagery. Is that imagery positive or negative, and how does the name reflect Oona’s character? Do those same connotations apply to Madeleine, or does the imagery shift depending on the character?
