I have just finished the book to. I thought that of the last section, the birth of the baby was unnecessary and it would have been preferable just to leave it in the restaurant when the fnal pieces of Stephen, Isabelle, Jeannes life was revealed.
Initially I anticipated the ending being that Stephen had died in the war, and it was left for Elizabeth to fit together the final pieces...obviously, that was not the case.
I thought the book was good and addressed some interesting points, however, it was too sexually explicit for my liking, and the end was thoroughly disappointing.
