"I knew then that this was how I was meant to go on: away from death and toward life, from birth to birth, from seed to blossom, living my life amongst wonders."

This took such a wild left turn at the end that I kind of forgot everything I was going to say about it. It felt like for most of the book (well-written) trauma porn about the plague and how men make everything harder for women, and then there was just...that last 25%! Huh!
