I just got to the end of this book and didn't realize till now Vera is the author's mother (I didn't do much research on this book before reading. I won it from a giveaway and started reading.) But I'm left with questions at the end...If Vera is Anita's mother, who is her father? Was Anton able to Father children after all? Or was Anton a made up character? I got to the end and I feel more confused.
