Your writing is so beautiful Mary. I love your attention to details! This passage was particularly touching and masterful: “he inevitability of this event, of his invasion not only into our parlor—where he’d been, where the Matisse once hung—but into our bedroom seems likely to me because she had, in a sense, invaded his house, Lena present in Evan’s parlor. He took her there.” I’m learning from you.

What a grand and generous comment. I love how you quoted the line you like. Thank you so much for reading and staying in touch. xx ~ Mary
So wonderfully damning!
Made my day, Alisa!
With all the personalities swirling around, I love the continued allusions to farming. Oddly seems completely relevant. Like poetic images.
I studied farming, went to farms: learned much. Thank you for noting this aspect that becomes a significant part of the novel's imagery.

Take that Isaac! You’re a sham farmer.:)
Indeed, at least from Robert's point of view!
