The last time she visited, she was already sick. When she left, I walked around my house in a daze, inhaling the smells.

“I’m not talking about the place filled with flames. I mean the hell the world is when cruelty doesn’t have a reason. When suffering is unrelenting and unrelieved by love.”

“Off course, if Steven had a wife in the attic, like Mr. Rochester in Jane Eyre, that, I thought, would be another matter entirely. But the very idea made me laugh. His building had no attic, and his one small closet couldn't even hold a skeleton. It was too packed with clothes, his and mine.”

Has everyone read Lisa Tucker's outstanding article in the NEW YORK TIMES (8/22/11) on being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm while writing THE WINTERS IN BLOOM and how she postponed surgery until she'd finished the manuscript? She writes: "I wanted to finish my novel. If anything, this goal had become urgent now that I knew this might be the last book I would ever write. I was fascinated by the way the book was changing as I went through all this. Though the novel I was writing had nothing to do with my aneurysm, the story kept surprising me as it became more optimistic, more engaged with the beauty of life. I changed the title from "The House of Doubt" to "The Winters in Bloom."
