A Fatal Grace (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #2)

by Louise Penny

‘This used to be my drug of choice. In my teens my drug of choice was acceptance, in my twenties it was approval, in my thirties it was love, in my forties it was Scotch. That lasted a while,’ she admitted. ‘Now all I really crave is a good bowel movement.’

Still, better to risk than live in fear.’

FINE stands for Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic and Egotistical. I’m FINE.’

When you see the worst you appreciate the best.’

Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering, There’s a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.’

‘Where there is love, there is courage Where there is courage, there is peace Where there is peace, there is God. And when you have God, you have everything.’
