Kimm answers “anyone read this yet? How does it stack...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about The Long Way Home (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #10):

anyone read this yet? How does it stack up against her other Gamache novels?

I am so grateful to Louise Penny for plumbing these characters; we have been offered so many ways to consider art, beauty, wisdom, courage, selflessness, selfishness, art, truth, morality... the notion of art on its head in this book is really insightful and helpful. These are flawed characters that stand up to scrutiny. The last book felt like an ending and I was terrified Gamache would be the one killed off here; even so, the book's climax brought tears to my eyes. Don't want things too tidy, but I do love visiting Three Pines and wondering who's on the chopping block next. And it is a puzzle to me how Penny will continue to put Gamache at the centre, now that he's retired. (less)
