I am so disappointed that this wasn't clarified! I re-read the conversation with Ruthie at least five times and she said they were never lovers, going on to say that Jack tracked her down in Barbados. I'm convinced Clark is her father, and I wonder if Annie didn't figure it out when she said Georgette would be surprised if she did any more tests on Clark. I'm so sad that Clark and Annie didn't have a conversation about this in the book. I've just finished it only five minutes ago and immediately started searching for the answer. It was a great story, but I found the writing to be a little elementary. I agree that the characters were cliche. The plotline about the con was great- the other intertwining plots were difficult to sort through at times. So, at the end the question of Annie's father being open-ended is a bit frustrating!Laceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-72159538288774601272011-05-05T09:48:53.123-04:002011-05-05T09:48:53.123-04:00I came away convinced that Clark was Annie's f...I came away convinced that Clark was Annie's father...Ruthie swore she had never slept with Jack and mourned Clark's leaving her and re-enlisting. Did anyone else get this connection? Were we intentionally left to wonder?Anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139876765950801580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865574440201600064.post-66383653048198763032009-05-21T19:32:37.158-04:002009-05-21T19:32:37.158-04:00I agree that the book is too long.
