The finale of 'I Found You' was wonderful. It revealed that the lost childhood friend of the protagonist and her new lover were in fact the same person, reincarnated or in hiding under a new name. The author set up a wonderful scene for the protagonist to find out the truth behind her past and she rebuilds her life with her new lover. 'Finding You Both' is another beautiful story exploring tangled pasts and hidden identities of people, although from a different angle. The story is about a young woman trying to come to terms with her life while being in love with two people. Instead of an complicated ending, she finds the deeper connection with one of them and the way the story is resolved is quiet, simple and very satisfying.

Just finished reading ‘I Found You’ by Lisa Jewell last night and I am reeling from the ending! As with all of Lisa Jewell’s novels, she managed to weave together all of the different story lines in the most brilliant way. I am going to attempt to explain how it all came together but be warned – there are loads of spoilers ahead!

Alice finally realises who Frank is - a man with amnesia who has been living with her. But Frank is not just any amnesiac. He is Gray, the brother of a girl who went missing on holiday over twenty years ago. As Frank's memories start to return, it becomes clear that his sister Kirstie was manipulated and then murdered by their friendly but sinister neighbor, Mark. The reader is then taken on a journey of discovery as Mark is revealed to be living with his wife Lily, who is frantically searching for her husband. As the truth starts to unravel, it becomes clear that the evil Mark has been grooming and manipulating women for years.

The climactic scene is so tense and emotional. The scene is set at the seaside home of Lily’s husband Mark and after a lot of realization on her part, Lily confronts her husband about what he has been doing. Alice and Gray arrive in time to hear the confession from Mark, although, in a surprising twist, he manages to escape. However, he is thwarted, as Lily is found to be alive by Alice and Gray. After all this time, Gray is finally able to come to terms with the disappearance of his sister, Kirstie. The story returns to Alice, who is no longer the dysfunctional, well-meaning person from the beginning of the book. She has found her purpose in life helping Gray to recall his memories and in the end, he is able to be at peace. The same can be said for Lily, who has also survived against the odds and has managed to come to terms with her past by moving on and starting again with her daughter.

There’s some things I want to talk about regarding the ending of ‘I Found You’. Firstly, how incredibly satisfying the way Jewell managed to bring the two storylines to a close, at the same time. The stranger that Alice had been looking after wasn’t just a lost soul, he was Gray, a man who had been traumatised by his sister’s disappearance years prior to the events of the novel. The man responsible for Kirstie’s disappearance was their childhood friend, Mark. And, as it turns out, he’s a predator. I won’t go into too much detail but Kirstie was lured away from her family, drowned and left under a pile of rocks. Jewell reveals all of this to the reader gradually, as Gray’s repressed memories begin to return.

The plot then returns to Lily’s search for her husband, Carl, which reveals the nasty truth that he was in fact Mark. A busy and chaotic ending with lots of tension, as Lily confronts Mark in a stormy scene. Gray appears, his memories now razor sharp and Mark’s facade crumbles. There is no justice at the end of the book, but a very emotional catharsis for Lily and Gray, as they can now move on from their pasts. Alice, the accidental hero, has in the meantime been the glue that holds the two of them together, and it is through her chaotic kindness that they are able to find a way to move on. The last pages of the book are a beautifully written, imperfect but powerful ending to a work that deals truthfully with trauma and its aftermath. Kirstie is finally laid to rest and Lily can find a way to move on, without fear, in a new future.

Looking at the ending of the postcard from a structural point of view, it returns to the swan motif that had already been introduced. Thus the plot follows from the feathers for the nests, the flight for safety. And the ending depicts the swan’s graceful and silent flight from the water. As before, Lily is the swan, and Rachel is the person on the shore. This is not a plot twist but rather the completion of a poetic and highly structural thematic thread. If one hadn’t picked up on the swan symbolism in the postcard before, the postcard’s ending might seem quite random to them. But for someone who did pick up on it, the ending is utterly inevitable and richly-layered, worthy of close reading.

Going back to the title of the book again – ‘I Found You’. All of that happens in the past. The story is about how she found her, how she found safety, and how Katy found her memory. And now that has all happened. So the title becomes a sort of ghost that haunts the last pages of the book. It’s a clever and subtle framing of the story. It makes you think of it as a memory, a case, a story that has reached its most important point before you read the final page.
