Then there's the part we don't get to see at all: the aftermath of the epilogue. In the book, Camille begins to cut again; she's reeling from the discovery that Amma was the killer all along. She carves into a sacred space on her back, a perfect circle that she's never harmed before. Curry stops her before she moves on to her face. The novel ends with Camille in the care of Curry and his wife. Finally, for the first time ever, she truly begins to heal.
