I really enjoyed the book, as I've already said. But one detail does annoy me:
The timline for the pregnancy! It just doesn't add up! Warning! Sort of pointless rant ahead! I think I'll hide so you don't have to see it!

Spoiler:

Since it's been some weeks since I finished the book I don't remember all the details but as I recall it Bea and Daniel met and had sex a couple of times, not many days apart. She was going to contact him a few days after the "last" encounter. When she didn't he waited a few more days and the pregnancy was confirmed not much later (she went to the doctor - as I understood it about a week, maximum two weeks after they first had sex). C'mon! I'm not saying she couldn't have become pregnant right away, but this was in the 50's. It took a lot longer than that to have a pregnancy confirmed! I just think this was an unncessary added "drama" added. An obvious factual improbability that didn't exactly ruin the book, but sort of "stained" it.

Edit: That's of course unless the baby isn't actually Daniel's... If Bea was already pregnant when she started seeing Daniel it makes much more sense. Sort of...
