This is my first actual thread so please let me know if I should have put it elsewhere or anything else!
We all know that King is fond of recycling characters and adding in family relations to existing characters, Ace and Pop Merill for instance. But, one, Cynthia has always kind of intrigued me. The Cynthia in Rose Madder is obviously the same woman as in Desperation. The back story is the same and they are both tough female characters who've had some hard knocks but came back fighting. I've always felt that there's some significance to King bringing her back and I've always played with the idea that she could have had a more pertinent role in the Dark Tower series.
I'd enjoy to hear any of your thoughts!
