Where is my closure! She left me hanging with the ending! I want to know what happens when Henry visits old lady Clare.

I really love the story line, but I felt there was an excess of filler in this story. There are so many discussions and descriptions that really have no basis in the overall plot. I cried a few times during this book: first, when he met his 10 year old daughter for the first time and Clare didn't make it to him in time, and then again when he died. I think the letter that he wrote to Clare to be read after his death was incredibly beautiful. I did not care much for the ending, where he finds her as an old woman. I was hoping there would be a replay of the scene where Clare is running to see him at Alba's field trip before the Clare-as-an-old-woman scene happened. For all the emotions this book evokes, I felt nothing when old Clare saw him again in her eighties. Overall, I rated this book 4/5.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
-Emily Dickinson

Most of fiction is either plot-driven or character-driven, whereas this book failed to successfully meet the standards of either category.
