Of all the characters in the novel, who are your favorites? Did your impression of anyone significantly change?
I didn’t really like anyone, to be honest. They were all so flawed.

Of the men, the Bettencourt’s carriage driver, Timothy Vale, eventually came forward with an offer to marry Celia and give them a new start as a family, with him working on a Colorado ranch. Timothy was a minor character, and not very developed, but I still liked him.
Of the women, Marie Ah-Yi was aggravating at first. She was very harsh on the outside, no doubt given what she’d been through, but had a warmth and wisdom that developed throughout the story.

Yes on Timothy and Marie - great answer, Luisa_H.
I agree with Luisa. Minor characters left an impression indeed. Celia was not a favorite, for all her adventuring into the seamy parts of town, why didn’t look further into securing Stephen’s address. And after all this time, if he really loved her, why didn’t he try to make a connection? The ending was too convenient don’t you think???

I agree on Stephen - he could have made the effort.
