As a new reader, I was delighted with "The Flood" (yes, I've started from the beginning). When I reached the middle--the schoolteacher writing the letter (no spoilers here!)--I had one of those "Whaaa-aaat???" moments, but thought all would be resolved in the end. It was not. Can anyone shed some light here? Both possibilities, to my mind, would require a bit of explanation, but there was nothing--just this scene that dangles in the middle of the book! Did I miss something critical?
