The perspective of the final section was not what I had been expecting, but I don't want to give away spoilers for those who haven't finished yet. I liked the spiritual aspect of it. It made it very personal, and I thought it did a good job of linking together the stories of the other parts to make a cohesive whole.
I also thought how horrible the way she was treated by her husband and yet she stuck by him!
I have a memory for words for some odd reason, and I am sensitive to repetitive words in books. I did a search on guileless. It's interesting that the phrase "guileless eyes" was used once in each of the 3 sections (daughter, son, dad).
