The author did a great job in taking us from the beginning of Grace's life to where we leave her at the end of the book and the thought process behind her choices. I used to think that women back then were unhappy and felt that they could not leave a marriage because they needed a husband and had no options. This book made me realize that for some woman that is what they wanted and it doesn't make it wrong it's just different.

Can someone help me understand the ending? I'm not sure I know what happened. It ended so abruptly. I'd appreciate others' perspective. Thanks!
