For one thing, the word "each" (singular) cannot be followed by "are". Why not say "The novel follows four six-year-olds, each of whom grows up to be the next character's parent." At least that's what I think you are trying to say. And even this could probably be improved on after reading the novel. Do people actually get paid for such clumsy writing?

The subtle quiet style belies it intellectual energy. This is a quiet journey of discovery and it fits the physical landscape of trees and snow and modest houses.
