The Abundance of Katherines: Hollis

Hollis is a very, very minor character in this book so far. She does seem to maybe have a deeper meaning as the book goes on, though. I mean, why would you add a character if they didn't contribute to the novel in any way? Hollis is Lindsey's mother. I wrote about Lyndsey in one of my previous blog, posing the same question. She probably will have a deeper meaning as the book goes on, just as Hollis. Hollis provides Colin and Hassan with jobs and even her home to stay in. She seems very giving and wise, but quiet. She seems like the kind of person that would give advice that you would never forget. Maybe that's what her purpose in the novel will be. If I am right about my prediction with Lyndsey, she may give Colin some advice on her or a back story or some kind of information. That could be another factor of her part in the story, to be the information giver. Lyndsey and her mom seem to have a good relationship, they are humorous with each other and joke around. They seem like they're just two good people who know what to do. She says to Colin, "You're not leaving yet, because I'm going to cook you dinner.'" The dinner turns in to days and Hollis seems perfectly fine with it. She seems like a very genuinly caring person and I look forward to see hwat role she could play in the upcoming chapters of this book.
