This week David, Heidi, and Ian discussed the fascinating nature of the Count’s relationship with Anna; the book’s preoccupation with skill and craft; the way Europe hovers over the themes of the books; and much more. Happy listening!
Ian: “Human life is full. Period. No loss can make it less full...”
Thank you for that. I was listening along, sipping my pinot noir on my patio, in the dark, on an uncharacteristically warm November evening in Wisconsin - you made that simple statement, that true statement, and I just burst into tears. I don’t know why, and yet I do know why, and I just needed to say that it was an encouragement to my soul. Funny how one never knows what seemingly simple thing they may say that touches a tender place in another person who really needed to hear words like that right then.
