- Reality Subtext: The situation of the four sisters and their neglectful parents is based on the author and her sisters and their parents, with several specific incidents directly drawn from life. The incident with one of the sisters almost getting hanged with a skipping rope is one, as is the bit with one of the sisters tying her hair in knots of keep it out of her eyes. Interestingly, a lot of people found it implausible that so long went by in the book before anyone noticed the latter, but in reality it was months.
