Monique’s father is also Harry’s lover and the man Evelyn finds dead in the passenger seat of the car Harry crashes while driving drunk. Monique has grown up believing that her father was the driver, but at the end of the novel, Evelyn reveals that she manipulated the crash site to protect Harry’s image. Monique’s father is a persistent influence in Monique’s life even after his early death; he constantly encouraged Monique to find a joyful career, advice she follows perhaps even more closely due to his absence. Monique’s father hid his sexuality from Monique and Monique’s mother, and though he loved Harry, the letter Evelyn found in Harry’s pocket on the night of his death reveals that Monique’s father loved and treasured his wife and daughter too much to leave them for Harry.
