This story was gripping towards the end. there were a couple things that really bothered me. Spoilers! Dr. Svenson was such a liar, she's the epitome of hubris. Mostly her actions made no sense. if she didn't want the company checking in on her, she should have sent some updates. what was she expecting. The first C- section bothered me. Without even an attempt at turning the breached baby, (because it'll take to much time) they decide to preform a surgery in the middle of a dirty hut. afterwards, I realized dr. Svenson did it for purely selfish reasons, to get Marina's confidence up. I was glad of the happy ending, Anders was alive. Easter was returned to him family, bittersweet but at least he's home. and I think Marina was finally disillusioned with her mentor. 
 Also, I think she's pregnant with Anders baby! anyone else? she was eating the tree bark and the morning after she sleeps with Anders, the craving is gone.
