Kathy asked this question about A Gentleman in Moscow:
Explain the ending! who the heck was the willowy woman at the table in the corner?? Was it Nina? did he see Sofia again? I'm lost by this ending. please explain

Also, We know that Sofia's hair no longer has it's grey stripe because it has been dyed and cropped short. Anna's hair is most likely gray because their friendship has endured over 25+ years.

Of Alexander's acquaintances left in Russia, Anna would be the only one with the connections capable of reuniting him with Sofia (he has promised Sofia that they would be together). Also, this meeting place allows him the charming opportunity to prove to Anna that the giant forest/diverse apple varieties she had doubted on page 201 were real.(less)
