Question

Chapter 12 is also an intercalary chapter. It talks about the people being on the move. The last line says, “The people in flight from the terror behind—strange things happen to them, some bitterly cruel and some so beautiful that the faith is refired forever.” Explain this quote.

Answer 1

I would say that it means that people were fearful from something behind them, and some people were lost, it was cruel and scary but at the same it was beautiful that would make you lose all faith then get it all back again.
