It was recently (like 5 minutes ago) pointed out to me that this might be useful to readers who’d rather not do math between chapters. This is the chart that I sent to the narrator of the audio book of All the Ugly and Wonderful Things, to help her parse how old everyone is at various points of the novel.
Chapter | Year | Kellen | Wavy | Donal |
Part 1, Chap 1 | 1975 | 18 | 5 | x |
Part 1, Chap 4 | 1977 | 21 | 8 | 18 mos |
Part 1, Chap 8 | 1978 | 22 | 9 | 2 |
Part 2, Chap 1 | 1979 | 23 | 10 | 3 |
Part 2, Chap 3 | 1980 | 24 | 11 | 4 |
Part 2, Chap 6 | 1981 | 25 | 12 | 5 |
Part 2, Chap 9 | 1982 | 26 | 13 | 6 |
Part 4, Chap 1 | 1983 | 27 | 14 | 7 |
Part 4, Chap 11 | 1986 | 29 | 17 | 10 |
Part 5, Chap 1 | 1987 | 30 | 18 | 11 |
Part 5, Chap 3 | 1989 | 32 | 19 | 13 |
Part 5, Chap 5 | 1990 | 33 | 20 | 14 |
Part 5, Chap 20 | 1990 | 34 | 21 | 14 |
It has also been pointed out to me (like 2 minutes ago) that I should perhaps do an actual FAQ page for the book. This seems a bit daunting, but I’ll consider it.
