Well, I finally finished this one. The ending was so depressing - nearly comically so. I guess the heart has to be lonely for the title to make sense. Everyone ended up alone - physically or emotionally.
I loved this book anyway. It had the same lazy laying out as A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It was a pleasure to get more insight into each character. I had such high hopes for these people. I wanted the frusturation to be resolved - the misalignment to be aligned. I wanted that for these people because I really liked them. The characters were so well developed by the time they started their downward spiral that I had to disassociate myself from them before they crashed.
