Hello everyone.
So now we are on the 2nd part - Bernadettes past and present.

We find out that Bernadette doesn't want to be found and people should respect that. They talk about how she is the most influence architect. We find out about her past working with people and when she met and married Elgin. With comments from people who knew her. All from an article that is meant to be getting released in February but someone wants it pulled - why? The interview also shows how much she infected people, happily. How she would be working on a project and the next minute, the people would be helping her. And about a house she spent 3 years making a house that, when she went on holiday was demolished in one day and she had no idea about it.

After that her and Elgin upped and left and no one knows what she has been up too since then. She has a big mystery around her that people want to know about.

She is writing an email to Paul, telling him what has been going on in the last 20 years and here we find out she feels like a failure because of the Twenty Mile House and how it is eating away at her.

Is this why she disappears?
She feels like after doing one project and destroying it that she will destroy everything she touches.

I also love her humour in the emails she writes. I have laughed out loud quite a bit.
And then we find out another grief she is dealing with: a miscarriage so, it seems she is actually holding a lot inside of her.
She writes about loving this Paul and that is basically this reading part-the email. It goes into much more depth about her feelings and what she has been going through.

What do you think about Bernadette?

Do you like the quirky humour?

What do you think about this Paul character?
