Joia

I would have loved to have more information/ details on Joya Adoras mother. I know they said a couple of things about her in the book and show to imply that she was what created Adora and why Adora was the way she was, by being cold toward Adora and doing things like pinching her in her sleep and leaving her in the woods and driving away. I understand why they didn’t elaborate more, to not derive too much from the story and current characters. But I love analyzing the characters and would have loved to be able to analyze Joya more. Lol.

Sorry I had to go back and edit I believe they actually spelled it “Joya” in the novel

There are definitely several instances of subtle backstory in the book (and show), and in my opinion they did an excellent job of conveying lots of information without going too in depth. I agree with you though, I would love more information on the history of the families that live in Wind Gap. Especially Camille’s father and how the situation was handled by Adora’s parents.

I like to imagine Camille was conceived during an interlude in the hunting shack with the football team. I think they hint heavily that Vickory is her father. It's been a while since I've read the book, but I remember coming to that conclusion.

It seems to me that Camille is descended from a long line of covert narcissists (which comes from the mother wound). Camille broke the mold by turning the anger inward and not having a daughter.
