Jennifer Anne asked Sylvain Reynard:

Dear SR: Please allow me to thank you for writing this beautiful love story. I absolutely love the ease and flow of your writing/story telling. My question: What was the reasoning behind selecting Gabriel as the name of the main character? Kindest regards, Jennifer

Sylvain Reynard Hello Jennifer Anne,
Thanks for your question.

I liked the juxtaposition between the name of Gabriel as one of the angels mentioned in Scripture and the character of the Professor.
He mentions this to Julia once - the contrast between his name and the kind of person he is.

It was a play on words of a sort.

Thanks for reading, SR
