Carol, it means so much to me that you read The Empty Armchair. And thanks for taking the time to add my sentences here. You made my night : )

I read The Empty Armchair. You have a beautiful style of writing. I love the way you put words together:

Boil a life down to its essence. freeze it, and see what rises.

All I wanted was to guard what little i had, not open myself up to lose more.

It’s as if the color black came out of the wall to cover the woman’s heart and soul.

What lovely sentences. There are more, of course. And I really liked the link with Matisse and your childhood.

A lovely story 🙂

I would have written a comment on your site but could find how.

Carol, I owe you an apology. I’ve been working so hard on my novel that I just plain missed your comment in my email inbox. Thank you so much for reading the post and taking the time to leave a comment. I LOVE Anne Enright–in particular The Gathering–so I’m happy to read her comment about being “particular.” I hope you’ll be back to Catching Days!

I like your metaphor of going light on the olive oil:)
Interesting and useful post:)
