Title: Disappointing ending (non spoiler)
Product review: I enjoyed the book immensely, until the end. There was so much rich, authentic detail, interesting setting in Holland during the Tulip Craze, and new sympathy and a new way of looking at the characters.What was a real downer was the ending. After some scenes of intense tension, the ball, the prince, the disguise, etc, there's a climactic scene of confrontation back at home where some very upsetting secrets are revealed, and then-- huh?? What? That's it? It's over!It's like we never get to actually see what happens. It's like the last chapter is missing.There's a flashback summary in an old lady's voice, reminiscing about the other long-dead characters, from which we can figure out what happened.But after getting so into the story, I would have liked to experience the ending too.
