One of the main characters is Wolff (the antagonist of the book). His main gaol was to find the gold that Einer owed him in a deal they made. He is so desperate to find the gold that he will do anything it takes to get the gold he wants, even murder. Einer and his wife Maria wanted their kids Sig and Anna to live up to their religious standards. They taught their kids about faith, hope, and love. And through out the book Sig and Anna find themselves in rough spots trying to live up to their parents standards. Sig and Anna find themselves trying to survive from Wolff and the dangers he brings.
One theme that has started to appear in the book would be survival because the kids are trying to stay alive. Success and greed are themes because several characters are trying to get rich. Family and love are themes because Sig, Anna, and there mom are trying to keep there family alive.
The author structures the book by flipping back and forth from the past to the present. Sometimes the author uses past events to explain what is going on in the present. I think this is an interesting way to structure the book instead of going in chronological order of events.
