This was such an interesting story. I read it just in the past week because I wanted to pass it along in a bookcrossing book box. This story made me think about my own life, and how I have often contemplated on the fact that there are so many distinct compartments that don't have much overlap. For example, my childhood at home with my parents and my friends in my home town, and then there are my years at summer camp and my friends there, which were so transformative and where I made friends (and values) for life, and then the college experiences, both academic and wildly social (and also transformative), and then my professional career. The people I worked with often had little or no understanding or knowledge of me as a person, my values, ideals, history. And as you move one company to another, there is also little overlap. Then there is my private adult life, two different husbands, my kids, my adult siblings, and so much more. Even beyond that, my own private thoughts, feelings, yearnings, some never articulated. In this story Pippa makes huge life changes several times, and becomes a "different" person each time. Life is certainly an amazing and unpredictable thing!
