Still my favorite novel, although A Gentleman in Moscow has become a close second. Speaking of novels, are you still working on a novel set in Russia?

Nichole Bernier Da! Chipping away.

Is your favorite novel Crossing to Safety? Sorry, I can't tell in this format whether you're replying to my previous answer :) I do love that book, have read it three times, and take away something new each time. Most recently, I was impressed by the narrative voice — Larry Morgan is a great combination of confidence with self-effacing humor, and Stegner does such a wonderful job of infusing the long flashbacks (which comprise most of the book) with wise and wry insights from his older self.

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

The pair I keep coming back to isn’t the most well-matched or romantic couple, but they’re iconic for how quietly dysfunctional they were: Sid and Charity Lang, in Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety, set mostly in the '30s and '40s. He’s a dreamer, an English professor who just wants to tinker in his think-house and write poetry. She’s a bold, adventurous, type-A wife and friend who makes the trains run on time, creates lots of fun, but wants to micromanage everything him about him — from his ambition, to the way he is supposed to eventually live without her. Such a rich portrait of marriage, and personality differences, as we age.(less)

Trust the process

I didn’t know if I’d find them alive or dead. The temperature is -5 when I walk down the path behind our house cupping a small tub of meal worms. It had been -16 during the night, and the hens had never been in temperatures so cold. My husband had wanted to bring them inside. But I dusted off the radiant heat panel, the one we use for chicks and kittens, and had faith it would be enoug

Quotes by Nichole Bernier (?)

“You could become paralyzed with worry about what might happen to your family, or if you hadn’t yet had children you could decide not to, as a sort of proactive damage control. Either way, you would be derailing your life voluntarily out of fear that it might become ruined by chance. Or you could pick up and move on. Those were the only choices.”
― Nichole Bernier, The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D.

“But there are no real accidents, only decisions that feel like accidents, one after another, that take you down a certain road and take on a momentum that can't be reversed.”
