now this is a great honest way to wrap up a novel, i say...
"But, truthfully, these glorious pauses do, sometimes, occur in the discordant but complementary narratives of our lives and if you choose to stop the story there, at such a pause, and refuse to take it any further, then you can call it a happy ending."
from the last pages of Angela Carter's fabulous (and tragically, last) novel, Wise Children

I thought highly of Wise Children and yes, occasionally, I do desire to pause and leave things there.
