The sheer emotional depth and complex female dynamics in Five Little Pigs completely blew me away. (Spoilers)
I just finished reading Five Little Pigs (sorry, this is the second novel of Agatha I read. The first one is Roger’s Case)
The ending is so long that I can’t wait to share it.
What I remember most is Caroline Crale’s vulnerability and resilience, and Elsa’s fatal ignorance of real emotions.
Elsa realizes that Caroline is pitying her (for a young girl and she simply didn't understand mature, complex emotions, and that ignorance drove her to her fatal mistake.)
The whole ending gives me this feeling of traditional Chinese artistic 'liubai' (the concept of leaving blank space in paintings). It’s beautifully understated, leaving so much unsaid, which gives the tragedy a profound, lingering resonance that is absolutely unforgettable
