Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress

I liked it, but I felt like there should have been more to the story. It may have just been the pace I was reading at, but it felt like the ending came too quickly and I was left feeling disappointed.

The last line was also a little confusing to me. I understand the Little Seamstress wanting to leave and experience the city. Maybe I missed something, but part of her reasoning being what she had learned from Balzac, “that a woman's beauty is a treasure beyond price.”, didn't make sense to me and didn't fit with my impression of her character. Again, I was reading quickly toward the end, so I could have missed something, but it just felt like a weird turn to take.
