Jean Pendziwol answered Elisa's question: Hello Jean, I just finished reading “The Light keepers Daughters” , and I honestly could not put it down. What a wonderful book! I was enthralled from the first page and disappointed when I turned the last page. Thank you for giving me such an amazing retreat ,time away from thinking of Covid and lockdowns. I am familiar with the Thunder Bay region which made reading the book even more enjoyable. Canadian eh!!? I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, Elisa, and that it provided a much-need diversion from COVID. Did you catch the little detail in the novel about the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919?

“You know, he said, when you paint over something, everything that was there before isn't really gone. It's still there. All the layers of color, the scrapes and dents, even the bare wood hiding beneath, they shape what's painted top, inspire it even, but they don't define it. That's up to the painter.”
