Helpful Score: 2
I liked both Cora and Jedwin, two odd people with a ton of baggage who seem to fit. Jedwin grows from a nervous hen pecked youngster to a steady and sure man who throws off the trappings of his family and society and goes for what he wants helping Cora realize she can have more than her subsistence living at the edge of town.
Where I had problems were the group hug aspects of the ending. You have a town with people who have berated, gossiped, and shamed her for eight years. They leave her at poverty level not caring that she can't get work to buy food. She has a side deal with a shop keeper to sell her stuff anonymously but he cheats her and propositions her. So all of a sudden at the end everyone has a personality change, says they are sorry and it's all okay?
But still a good story over all.
