Predictably superb and sensitive, and ever better. In my opinion, already at least Nobel Prize for Literature talent.

When the notification of a new post on Barefaced Living arrives, it always makes my day! Sometimes i drop everything to read it at once. Other times, like tonight, i save it for bedtime when all has gone quiet. I savour each thoughtfully crafted phrase that places me inside the vivid stories and deeply felt emotions of your life and family. Thank you for introducing Edie and her beautiful talented daughters who will live forever thanks to your way with words in this Barefaced Living blog.

Lynne, right from the heart. “Almost a Daughter” is a true story for the ages. I can only imagine the number of people that can relate to this. The loss of a loved one is never easy to cope with, let alone write about. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. So beautifully written.

Echo Annalie's comments all the way. This time I saved it to savour it.

Do let C (and J) know that I'd love to meet her in London and offer any support I can while she is here. Sadly though, not in French!
