Without reaching for "Wuthering Heights" I remember that at the end of the book the narrator (Lockwood?) walks on the moor and he sees butterflies dancing or fluttering among the harebells and he cannot imagine an unquiet spirit lying in that earth. I think that's the gist of it. Corrrect me if I am way off the mark.

Please share a scene or a line from a book.

'Nobody, of the hundreds of people that had visited the Fair, knew that a grey spider had played the most important part of all. No one was with her when she died.'

LetHim Try reading that to a Y6 class without crying. I just about managed it, but some of the children didn't.

Christ - I wouldn't be able to, I guarantee it. That bit kills me even more than the 'Charlotte was both' ending.

SPOILER

the ending to Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye. “This is what I miss, Cordelia. Not something that has happened but something that will never happen. Two old women giggling over their tea.”

The main character is on the plane home having left her old friend/bully behind and she sees two old ladies playing cards and drinking tea.
