I liked the book very much but I do agree with some of the other comments. I didn't see any conclusion and felt the last part of the book was too rushed and left out information that made understanding her situation murky. I don't agree that she was less sympathetic because she was living a charmed existence through her wealthy lover. The whole thrust of the book was about her early childhood abandonment and the lack of self-awareness that resulted. I would love for her to do a follow-up book to flesh out the rest of her story and address how the search for her birth family has gone.
