Maryanne Panacheese Character Analysis

Maryanne Panacheese is the mother of Paul Panacheese, one of the titular “seven fallen feathers,” who died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006 while attending school in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Maryanne was home when Paul collapsed on the kitchen floor while making a snack after a night out with friends. He died instantly. The coroner never determined a cause of death, and because all evidence relating to Paul’s death was thrown away after a set amount of time, Maryanne never received any answers as to how or why Paul passed so suddenly and unexpectedly.

Chapter 5: The Hollowness of Not Knowing Quotes

Maryanne is left wondering what happened to Paul, just like she has been left wondering what happened to Sarah. Maryanne has had to live with the crushing emptiness of having two of the most important people in her life taken from her without any explanation why. Living in this state makes it nearly impossible for Maryanne to find peace; she is constantly looking for answers. And after she has exhausted all possibilities, she is left hollow.
