How did Season 1 end?
Without spoilers, the season 1 finale wraps up the main arc of Nan St. George’s love triangle with a wedding. However, there are several cliffhangers: Jinny’s abusive marriage, Mr. and Mrs. St. George’s divorce, and the identity of Nan’s birth mother. Since the book was famously unfinished, Jakeways and the creative team have plenty of room to apply their own spin to the story.
