Can you give some possible themes in 'my mother the godmother and the true story'?

I'm not sure exactly without more context. It could be about the relationship between your mother and the godmother, perhaps some experiences they shared, or a particular event that involved them both in the true story.

One possible theme could be identity. The mother's struggle with the perception of not being a 'real lady' might be about her trying to define herself outside of society's narrow view of what a woman should be.

One possible event could be that the mother had to take care of an elderly relative who was ill during 2020. Also, there might have been a situation where she had to deal with her own health problems while still looking after her family. Maybe there were relationship issues between her and her partner that she had to work through during that year.

One scenario could be that your father is away on a business trip. He writes to your mother to tell her about the new places he has seen, the people he has met, and how much he wishes she was there with him.

Family could be a major theme. The story might focus on how the mother held the family together during 2020, through thick and thin, dealing with the new normal of family life during that year.

There could be a theme of discovery. Maybe the train was exploring new territories, and the people on board were the first to see certain landscapes or encounter new cultures. Or it could be a theme of transformation. For instance, a person's life was completely changed because of a particular train journey. They might have met someone important, or seen something that made them change their career or life goals.

Another theme might be redemption. If someone faced consequences under Article 15, the story could be about their journey to redeem themselves, to prove that they've changed and learned from their mistakes. Also, the theme of struggle could be present. Struggling against the system, against the stigma of having an Article 15 on their record, or struggling to make things right again.

One possible theme could be sacrifice. Nurses often sacrifice their personal time and energy to take care of patients.

Another theme might be change. Spring 1941 was a time of great change globally with the war, so the story could be about how people, places, or societies were changing during that time. It could also be about hope. Despite the difficult situation, there could be elements of hope in the story, like people looking forward to a better future after the war or hoping for the safety of their loved ones.

One possible theme could be change. Thirteen can represent a transition period, like a thirteen - year - old transitioning into adolescence.
