Meanwhile, the odd moment when Saeed comments that they weren't having sex, and then admits rather easily that they were, is important. The novel's focus on their particular connection showed how important that connection was, but the fact that the novel also shows the connection ends implies that all of their connections were also important, or could have been similarly important, had they made different choices. The connection they shared was in many ways just like the connections they share with others. Nadia's comment about how different things might have been if they got married captures the way that, while the novel focused on Nadia and Saeed's time together, they didn't end up together or the center of each other's lives. The novel's ending ingeniously ties up many of its themes.
