Does the title "Paper Shadows" have more meaning for you after finishing the book than before you started reading it?

"Paper Shadows" as a matter of fact have more meaning for me after I read it. This autobiography is full of phantoms and secrets especially the haunted memoir.

Even those who are quite sure of themselves, they, too, are made up of mystery, defined by secrets told and untold."
