I am delighted to have discovered novelist Laurie R. King, though I suppose discovered is the wrong word. About as accurate as saying Columbus or the Vikings discovered the Americas. Better to say I finally met her. Delightful novels in the Mary Russell-Sherlock Homes series, and when Ive finished those I look forward to her stand alones. Insightful, thought provoking, whimsical, and all brought forth in the loveliest, most civilized language. Several times Ive felt the same pleasure and admiration I felt reading Robertson Davies. Speaking of whom, I should perhaps revisit that talented Canadians works. Ah, reading! Ah, words!
