Visiting places in Paris from CASTLE OF WATER

Greetings! Bonjour! And howdy-do.

A couple readers on their way to Paris have asked me about visiting places mentioned in the book. I thought I'd pass on a few in case anyone stopping by "The City of Light" feels like doing a little literary book tour, with novel in hand. Enjoy!

Quotes by Dane Huckelbridge (?)

“He smiles and shakes his head, a smile that’s bewildered and content and still pursed by that same tender sadness that visited him by the arch, that trails him as doggedly as his gratitude and his guilt … the wonder of it all, the unknowable mystery, to serve as fleshy custodian to such a fragile flame.”
― Dane Huckelbridge, Castle of Water

“Surely an unremarkable moment for most, but for the man, it is a parting tinged with a tender sadness—he has noticed over the years that even the briefest and most incidental interactions can, with the appreciation of time, take on far richer shades of meaning. It is a realization for which he is eternally grateful.”
― Dane Huckelbridge, Castle of Water

“And so on and so on goes the cardiac beat in this polka called life.”
