On page 241-242 Greta confronts the readers and asks "why is it impossible to be a woman?" She states that men are always free to be themselves and asks "When has a woman ever been forgiven?"

Where there any discrepancies in the science of the time travel in this book that bothered you or took away from your enjoyment of it?
In the beginning of the novel on page 8 Felix asks a neighbor who was reprimanding him and Greta "When you were a little girl, madam," he said, gesturing to her, "was this the woman you dreamed of becoming?" How did this foreshadow other events in the novel?
