No, quite the opposite. It ends, I think, deliberately on a rough patch even though a brighter future is alluded to in the beginning of the novel. But for Philip Roth to wrap up his idea of a shattered American dream suffused with the descriptions of pastoral America, it's necessary for the ending to be, well, not-so-happy.
