"For O'Connor, the real horror was never violence or deformity, but damnation. Horror that awakens a soul to its own danger and prepares it to receive grace is no horror, but a mercy. 'The devil,' she wrote, 'accomplishes a good deal of groundwork that seems to be necessary before grace is effective.'"

Abandoning this. Not compelling enough to finish.

I've only read one chapter of this since January. Gonna put it away for now.

I just started this on audio yesterday. A rough start upon realizing that the narrator has changed because the original guy died. The new narrator is good, but it is very different. Ugh. Here we go.

I'm having a really hard time putting this book down every night.

I don't like Jean-Guy Beauvoir. There. I said it.

This book is boring me. The first Gamache book that I've had to force myself to keep listening to.

Note to Self: Do not attempt to listen to massive books on Overdrive unless you are going on a very long road trip. Otherwise, you will not finish the book before it expires and must be deleted from your Overdrive bookshelf. If you attempt to check it out again, you will likely be on a long wait list. In the meantime, you will have forgotten where you are and what you have already heard. K? Thanks.
