Summary
Kintsugi (noun): the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
Monty is hospitalized after an especially bad incident with his father and loses hearing in one ear. He feels like his whole life has been uprooted and turned on its head. Percy feels guilty and just wants to be there for the boy he loves. The Montague family is struggling to find their places with Henry Sr. out of the picture and Monty is struggling to figure out himself.

Summary
She imagines having her own lover to sit beside her on a balcony to watch a sleeping city. She can’t. She may believe in love, but that doesn’t mean she believes in it for herself. She is happy that in all the ways Monty resembles her, a bad marriage isn’t one of them.
And then she feels guilty again. So, so guilty. She always likes to think that Monty turned out alright, despite everything. He has a loving husband, a career he loves, a cat. It isn’t the life Eleanor always envisioned for her children but it is what Monty never dared to envision for himself. He is happy. Or, Eleanor thought he was. She thought that Monty had found happiness in the end. She thought that he had overcome everything his father did to him. But maybe he hadn’t. Maybe those memories would haunt Monty forever like they haunted Eleanor. Maybe there was a dark part of Monty still living in his father’s house.
