The Long Way Home
by Louise Penny
I’m getting increasingly riled by louise penny. Her characters are mostly cartoons, except for the lovingly crafted members of the canadian police force. Or inspector department. Either way, they’re all allowed to have guns, yay, pew pew.
I spent the whole time of this book not caring whether a certain missing person was alive. Tall self-absorbed white man. Omg everyone stop whatever you’re doing, we need to find this shining example of mediocrity IMMEDIATELY.
Well, in the last chapter, we find him. We the readers are supposed to feel sudden amounts of empathy for him, we are excited to see him reunite with his wife.
Oopsie poopsie, our author doesn’t really care. I’m thinking maybe she is annoyed how readers accused her of writing “cartoonish” characters, and in reality she wants to showcase Clara, the artist who first sounded the alarm about her missing husband. Clara perhaps is a Mary Sue—not that I am insulting the trope. It’s a new mini prospective to whatever phase of feminism this generation is supposed to be in.
But I’m not getting a feminist vibe from louise penny. I’m kinda guessing she once had a husband who was an asshole and wanted to get some literary revenge.
