Lois McMaster Bujold
Spring is flirting with us here, but it's often bait 'n switch -- April snowstorms are not uncommon.
I have no information on Galeni's mom, sorry. Possibilities range from her dying young, to still being around but estranged, by politics or just by distance or remarriage and/or emotional withdrawal from the old pain of her first marriage and all it brought with it. Or just by physical distance, of which there is a lot. People do grow away from each other -- here on Old Earth, emigration often meant never expecting to see one's birth family again in one's lifetime, and galactic travel times are not unlike old sea ones.

Hi Ms. McMaster Bujold, I wanted to write you a quick note here on Goodreads and tell you how much I have loved your books over the last two years. I read the Five Gods books first and just read both Shards of Honour and Barryar. Your books are so enthralling and I love them! Merry Christmas!?! Hannah, a reader from Omaha, NE
