Gert is trying to live her life while coming to terms with her past. She realizes that she had buried herself (archeologist humor, wink-wink) in her work as a way of coping with her traumatic childhood. She has obviously suffered from mental illness, as did her mother and twin- a boy genius. A fasinating look at a dysfuntional family trying to cope with mental illness in an age where there was little to do about it. Wild twist at the end that is perfect.
