it was really sad but more so during Part II when they were forced to leave the island and suzanne was dying. towards the end, when gabriel died, it was all so sudden that it wasnt as impactful. plus, because the freedom struggle josephin went through was barely mentioned, when the chagos archipelago got independence, it also wasnt that impactful. but really, these people struggled so much. like, its one of those books where you want to pretend everything is fictional but you know its not. its all real. even if the book is fiction, it probably isnt that far from the truth. and thats scary, because if it can happen to them, why cant it happen to you
