Caroline E. Farrell I've often wondered what happened to characters after I've finished a book, but I wouldn't put an author on the spot as I think it's nice to leave it …moreI've often wondered what happened to characters after I've finished a book, but I wouldn't put an author on the spot as I think it's nice to leave it to the reader's imagination.
