As I read this book, especially nearing the end, I could hear the soundtrack to a tragedy playing in my mind. This book contained adequate difficulty and heartbreak, but no happy ending; in fact, I was quite disappointed and a bit confused by the pair who married in the epilogue. But I will say that I sat down and read this book straight through without a break, and it was worth it.
