Becky Bloomwood, the protagonist of Confessions of a Shopaholic, now reads as a relic of a more hedonistic but seemingly more innocent era. Sophie Kinsella's final scene was filled with the warm, feel-good details that characterized her fiction: true love, family, music, warmth, Christmas and joy. That closing chapter did not produce a conventional happy ever after. The comforting imagery stems from a poignant account of Sophie Kinsella's last days provided in a family statement released on Wednesday, which gives the fictional warmth a bittersweet resonance against real-life ending.
