This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Joanne Harris Hi there!
I'm so glad you liked the books. To answer your questions:
1. I think you have to decide for yourself what was in the box (that's the mystery:-)
2. No, I don't think anyone is wholly devoid of love, but Zozie is incapable of putting another person's needs before her own.
3. It wouldn't work out unless one of them changed her nature fundamentally (and I'm not sure that's possible).
Hope this helps! J x
