Tesalonica asked this question about The Silent Patient:
Can somebody explain what the last sentences of the book mean? I really don't understand what they mean, did he jump or something? or is he just not doing anything? "I opened the window and reached out my hand. I caught a snowflake. I watched it disappear, vanish from my fingertip. I smiled. And I went to catch another one" I think the "went to" is what is making me doubt.
