I appreciate how in many (all?) she'll list all the characters by name and "position" -so helpful. Think I read it's because of her theatrical background, i.e. like the programme for a play.

I just finished BURY YOUR DEAD and loved the intertwining of the 3 stories.The most compelling element is the story of Gamache and his journey of healing. Along the way he confronts his infallibility, his guilt and loss. I just love this character, through all of his life experiences he has become the wise "father".<br />As I can't be in St.Lucia, I will have to comfort myself with our upcoming week of 50's and 60's.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900783592694578527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-938244681181367522011-02-11T16:15:38.281-08:002011-02-11T16:15:38.281-08:00Anonymous - so glad you found the solice of Three ...Anonymous - so glad you found the solice of Three Pines and thank you for putting into words what so many readers feel.

Just dealt with 23" of snow here in WI...but did get the Super Bowl win (yah).<br /><br />I wanted to add to the comments that your books bring such solace. I keep telling my (4) sisters that I feel like I'm being lulled into a calmness that is hard to describe. They say, "But these are murder mysteries, right?!"<br />It is hard to describe. It is a compelling mystery, and I want to see how it ends...but at the same time, I never want it to end. I just want the tranquility to end.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />VanessaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02701442939221915911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-13646502944044709122011-02-11T03:51:27.907-08:002011-02-11T03:51:27.907-08:00Congratulations Louise.

(I understand the reason behind the shot..good 'cover') ha<br /><br />I don't think many of the male authors write with as much depth and variety as you do. If I theorize why more female authors aren't making the list, I'll end up sounding trite and biased I'm afraid.<br /><br />Congratulations also for bringing some solace to people who find refuge in your books..I can relate.<br />I once took refuge in Jack Nicholson's voice (during extreme anxiety time when I couldn't even read to relax or escape..try it some time, ha)I kept watching his movies. ALso, Motown music helps..have no clue why.<br /><br />Still wondering about Rosa..where is she? Is she ok? Will she return?<br />(tongue in cheek)<br /><br />Well Congratulations to you and to us, the Super Bowl Winners.Donna K Wisconsinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-27507056456439554272011-02-11T02:45:28.207-08:002011-02-11T02:45:28.207-08:00Congratulations!

I've just discovered your writing (I began Still Life early this morning after a restless night, tried to stop and do some work, but finally gave it up and went purring back to the world of Three Pines), and I had to thank you. I've been struggling lately - trying to cope with the gradual loss of people I love, people who have been my foundation but are now ravaged by cancer or (more painfully) dementia. So the warmth and kindness that radiate from this book, from you, are a balm. Thank you for the company of wise, real people. Thank you for writing that brings a deep grunt of pleasure. And thank you for a book that radiates (sometimes gentle, sometimes caustic) goodness. It was a blessing for me, right when I needed one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-87572058571173601062011-02-10T17:00:34.867-08:002011-02-10T17:00:34.867-08:00the contrast between your wintry masthead and the ...the contrast between your wintry masthead and the pic of your feet amused me no end ! oh, that glorious blue!!! good luck on your nomination ... now if we readers only had the next book .... blessings.Mary Vehr Mumawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872377975002960320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885582611314646448.post-3189408140161814772011-02-10T16:09:53.620-08:002011-02-10T16:09:53.620-08:00Je me demandais justement ce que vous lisiez en va...Je me demandais justement ce que vous lisiez en vacances.<br /><br /> Et, j'ai eu la meme réaction que vous face au peu de nominations féminines.<br /><br />Mais ce qui est certain, c'est que vous méritez pleinement cette nomination: bravo!danielle-momohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004302871652952720noreply@blogger.com
