Giles doesn't really know any of his younger siblings; he seems to be several years older even than Karen. After all, he probably went away to prep school just before he was 8 years old, when Ann would have been a baby still, and I know from experience that you don't really get to know very much younger siblings if you're at boarding-school while they're growing up. Not until both they and you are adults.
I think the unresolved questions are part of the joy of this book - the situation isn't black and white, everybody makes mistakes, everybody could perhaps have done things differently.

Arguably, it's a young adult novel, not GO!
