I love Patchett's work, having read three of her books in the last two weeks. This was intriguing and unusual. She understands people's emotions and hearts, their instincts, their love of places. The ending was a bit confusing. Although I believe Sabine and Kitty could love one another, I doubt it was meant as a lesbian attachment. Rather, both were lonely, and both reminded each other of a man they had each greatly loved.
