Fiction Book prt. 10

I just finished A Northern Light and absolutely loved it!! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who's interested in a fictional mystery with a little bit of history involved as well. At the end of the novel, Mattie realizes that she can't be stuck in a small town for the rest of her life when she has the opportunity to full fill her dream of becoming a writer. She ends up going to New York to pursue this dream. As for Grace Brown, Mattie reads the rest of the letters that Grace asked her to burn. Mattie never ends up burning the letters for the sake of figuring out the mystery of her death. Grace Brown was killed by her boyfriend Chester Gillette. She went to the Glenmore hotel with Chester in order to get married to him because she was pregnant with his child. But, because Grace was just a poor factory worker, Chester did not want to marry her because of her "status." Because she was pregnant though, Chester thought the only way to get rid of Grace was to murder her. He took her out to the lake in a boat and pushed her in. He knew Grace couldn't swim because of one of the letters he received from her informing him of this in fact crucial information. 

 As for her fiance Royal, she found out that he only wanted to marry her for her fathers land. She gave the ring back on her way to New York. In the end, Mattie was in fact really saved by Grace Brown in a way because she figured out that she didn't want to be stuck in a life she didn't want like Grace was. All in all, great book that really gives a message of hope and believing in yourself to create a better future. I will remember Grace Brown's story as one that made not only history, but also the plot to a great story.
