looks like a nice little excursion into outer space

i was almost finished reading the light pirates, do you remember the ending of the story

yes, waaah...!i! i was reading the light pirates, and am in the last chapters, but inadvertently left the book at the local coffeehouse
i left it in the washroom and when i left the building, and elvis was not there, i returned to find it gone.
it's like being at the end of a movie, and having to go to the washroom,
then returning to my seat to finish reading the book
only to find the movie has ended
and is no longer playing.

do you remember the ending of the story, where wanda is watching the small fisher salvage community of brie & co.?
how does it end? i haven't got the book now. does she join them and enrich them with her unique abilities?
or like the rest of the book, does it have a tragic ending with everything getting washed away by yet another tidal wave?

please fill me in on the missing pieces, if you will.
i was enjoying the story, and the character developments
now i want to learn the ending,
please,
and thank you,
pi

Wanda joins up with the people of the salvage company after their home is washed away, and takes them to her home in the trees. She stays with Bird Dog, and the book ends when they are both very old, and the people have created a multi-level home among the trees. A lovely ending to a truly lovely story.

I found the book!
No need to explain, I know how it ends. It ends in a tear. Home. This feeling of home.
The loneliness of human existence, combined with the longing for human connection.
The tragedy of loss and fear of abandonment, the ferocity of nature, the feeling of being held safe by luck and life.
The book really speaks to my own independent nature, and skepticism, even cynicism of other.
It also melts my heart that despite all this attrition, there is still life, continues to thrive.
The cycles of nature, the inevitability of change, it's all here in Wanda.
Out with the old and in with the new, nature will always find a way to renew.
Lily's dedication to First Nations in the afterwards is telling of the spirit in which the story was written.
I truly enjoyed it. i think i'll recommend it to GF
thank you for suggesting it!

It's gotten great reviews on Goodreads, too. I love how things aren't fixed (which we probably won't do,) but rather faced and dealt with as best as they can. Life does, indeed, go on.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. I love when that happens. 😊
