Andrew,
Thank you for posting your insight on this matter. I’ve read the novel four months ago, and I was disappointed at that time by its ending – struck and disappointed. Now that I have read your feelings and considerations, I agree that it is more realistic, less a ‘sweet-dream-romance’ ending.
It leaves us with that feeling of being struck, and the opportunity for ourselves to consider things like the consequences of Ben’s acts for Fon. Or even the consequences of some of our own acts.
Thanks a lot for this pretty rare opportunity.
