I agree. I think the ending was perfect. We were let into the every day lives of the characters and I was happy that it ended the way it did, like any other day in their lives. The joy of that community in essence did not end and I loved that.PeterRabitt20 wrote: ↑21 Dec 2020, 16:17 I thought the ending was great. The characters seemed to have closure on many of the issues that bother them. The dropoff feeling is maybe the author's way of allowing the reader to keep thinking about the story well after they finished it.

She struck me as a very prideful woman, and sometimes that can be an impossible hurdle to jump over, especially for this woman who felt justified in disowning her daughter. She's very selfish and clearly still working through her prejudice, but her making the cake was an amazing first step towards reconciliation. Maybe the ending would have been sweeter if her mom had shown up in person, but I thought it was already very sweet and symbolic.scaryeyes_25 wrote: ↑03 Mar 2021, 20:08 You are right. There is just something a little off
with the ending which I can not pinpoint. Maybe it would be better if Maureen's mother was there. Greater impact than just baking a cake but not being there. But maybe she was sick or something. Or if we knew why she stayed behind with her other daughter at home. Is she sick? Or is she too ashamed of what she did?
Exactly my thoughts. Thanks for such a brilliant comment.
