and Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. I just finished Beware the Woman by Megan Abbott. It was pretty disappointing. I felt as though nothing happened the entire book, then the ending did not leave anything resolved. Did you read it? If so, why did they keep mentioning the caul on the baby's face? What was the significance of the photos fluttering out of the cabin at the end?
