Her answer: F**cked up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Egotistical. Gamache’s wife, a librarian, notices that FINE is an acronym (an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word) and not the adjective fine. The title of one of her books is I’m FINE. There is the character of Ruth, an elderly elderly: old, advanced in age, rather rude poet with a pet duck. One of her recurring themes makes me giggle giggle: (to) laugh lightly in a silly way every time. For example, an excerpt from Leonard Cohen’s song “Anthem” can be found in her second book “A Fatal Grace” but also as the title of her tenth book, “How the Light Gets In”, with the theme of the beauty of imperfection. Louise Penny often uses themes in her books inspired by the arts, music, or poetry. In the case of Three Pines, these unpleasant events are often a bit more common than the national average. But no matter how sheltered they are, they all have to deal with unpleasant events every once in a while. The way she describes the village and its quirky quirky: unusual, different inhabitants creates the image of a peaceful, harmonious and sheltered sheltered: protected life. She writes mystery novels about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté de Québec, and his family and friends who live in the fictional village of Three Pines, somewhere in the Eastern Townships close to Montreal. She is an award-winning Anglophone author living in Knowlton, QC. I really love to read mystery novels and Louise Penny is my all-time favourite Canadian author.
