I want to discuss the ending of the book with other people who have read it.
First I’d like to say I loved this book. It really felt gray, dim, hopeless. I like to read sad books and this one definitely hit. I watched the movie as well (rough).
Spoilers on the ending below:
I didn’t love the ending. I’m glad that the boy was taken care of, but it felt unrealistic that as soon as his papa dies he is taken in by random strangers that stumbled upon him?? How convenient.
I’m curious what others think regarding the ending.

I don’t love the ending either, but I’m also not sure exactly how it could’ve ended. Aside from an open-ended ending that finishes right before they get to their destination, I don’t think there would’ve been many super satisfactory endings.
That said, I do like the little bit of hope the ending brings to an otherwise bleak tale.
