This quote originated on page 11, (I had another quote ready but I do not have my book with me as I am writing this!). To me, this quote speaks of intense sadness and almost regret. The character does not know if he will ever see his mother or father again, and all he is left with is his memories of them. At such a young age, he is experiencing a terrible sensation and feeling in contemplating his future, growing up possibly alone, without his family by his side. This quote, as well as the first one, helps set the lonely and sad tone for the book, as the rest of the story is the character's journey it attempts and hopes to recover his long lost family.

I agree with all of your thoughts on this quote. The author does a very good job of setting the tone for the story. Just from this small section of the book i am very interested in the story and want to read more to see what is going to happen next. It was a very descriptive sentence that helped the reader visualize exactly what was happening at this moment in his life.
Sometimes I have that feeling also, I don't live with my parents anymore.
The part of the quote that affects me the most is "sinking feeling". For some reason, those two words so accurately describe the intense feeling of longing and anxiety and sadness. Like the whole body has just given up and is sinking onto itself.
Good quote, might read the book now.
WHEEE!!!!
