I liked the ending of Calpurnia Tate very much. It imparted all the hope that Calpurnia had for the new century in a such a beautiful, subtle way.
When she wakes up on the dawn of the first day of the 20th century, all is quiet, too quiet, until she ventures outside to see that overnight snow has blanketed the ground. As she walks along, she sees a coyote and signs that other creatures have been there -they too are waking up along with her to a new century.
I loved this book from the first to the very last page.
