Has anyone out there read this book? I have just finished it today and absolutely loved it, until I got to the end!!! I hate that when you absolutely love a book and it ends in a way you don't like. I had so many unanswered questions. I understand the author maybe was doing a Dickens and wanted the reader to make up their mind about the ending rather than spell it out but then why spend so much of the book talking about minute details and then end it so quickly with all the threads left dangling? eg, how did Mariella and Nora get back? Did they get back? Was Rosa dead in Max's arms? Was Max dead or dying? Were they all going to die? What about Henry? What about Max and Mariella? This was just a few of the questions I had when I got to the end.
