It goes into Clara and Peter’s past (we finally find out more about how they met) and the people that they’ve met there. The mystery itself was, as usual, excellent.
Of course, you also have Ruth in this book so sometimes the lovely moving lines are followed by something so characteristically Ruth that it makes you laugh. Perhaps it’s because they are looking for Peter through his art, which leads to reflections on what art is, but I thought there were a lot of lovely lines about human nature, sin-sick souls, and how art comes to be. Speaking of quotes, the entire book is full of lovely ones. I will pray you find a way to be useful.” “I’ll pray that you grow up a brave man in a brave country. His entire journey can be summed up in this quote that appears throughout the book: By the time we reached the ending and finally met Peter, I already knew what to expect. It’s through the trial he left, from figuring out how he has changed through his new paintings, that my opinion of him started to change. And the thing is, Peter isn’t even in the book for most of it. But this is the book where my feelings about Peter begin to change.
To be honest, I’ve always liked Clara over Peter (and I think most of the characters in the book feel the same). After weeks of thinking over it, Clara told Gamache about what happened and the search for Peter begins. Well, the one year is up, but Peter isn’t home. The two agreed on a trial separation where Peter would leave for one year, and then he would come back so they could re-evaluate their relationship. Peter was always the successful artist, so when Clara’s paintings eclipsed his, he doesn’t deal with it well. If you’ve been following the story of Peter and Clara Morrow, you’ll know that the couple have split in the previous books. This book is different from the rest of the books because Gamache is no longer with the Surete – after the events of the last book, he has finally retired to the village of Three Pines. I am finally over How The Light Gets In (although looking back on my review, it seems a bit understated compared to how the book still makes me feel) and so I finally borrowed the next book in the Inspector Gamache series: The Long Way Home.
