At the end of the book we learn that while living in the USA Sarah died. We are first told it was because of a car accident, but this to me did not seem right. Why would Mrs. De Rosnay just end her life with a car crash? Sarah had gone through so much and with all that has happened through the book with Julia working so hard to find her, a car crash just didn't seem right. I may be thinking this way also because I so desperately wanted Sarah to be alive and for her to meet Julia. So hearing she died in the first place was heart wrenching for me, my favourite character gone and with little explanation. Luckily later on thanks to William Rainsferd we learn that her death was no accident. She had become depressed, and was hiding who she really was. Not even her family after the war knew all of her secretes. No one not even her new cousins, or children, she kept it all bottled up. This caused her to eventually snap, and kill herself, even though her soul had been dead for a long time. Julia, even though she never met her, was able to have more closure knowing this mystery of Sarah had been solved.
This was a very sad part in the book, and even though it is not exactly what i wanted as a reader, I knew for Julia to have closure something like this had to happen. Sarah had to move on, even though it wasn't on earth, she had to be with her family. For her to die was the only way herself Sarah I think could ever have closure.
