The Stanger

After reading the first 15 pages of the novel I could not understand why wasn´t Maman´s son upset by the fact that she had died. In that moment I started thinking about the name of the novel "The Stanger", and the first thing that came up to my mind was relating the name with the character and his coldness towards Maman´s death, in a way Maman seems like a stanger to him.
