Since this is a fantasy, I didn't look for a literal explanation of the ending. I loved this book about someone so filled with love she could care for and nurture a "creature" who disgusts and frightens others. Naturally, since there is true justice in this book, Mavis, scorned and derided by her community, is saved by love.
My fifty cents (I told you I loved it.)
