The Long Way Home
by Louise Penny
My friend Ann said it well: this was much more inside. I took away from her comment two interpretations. The bulk of the physical tale did take place inside, as indoors. Lots of research took place via phone calls and on the computer, or via in-person visits that took place inside. At least until the end, when the story became one of travel to a remote location. Yet, there was still plenty of inside - inside a ship's cabin, inside a small cabin in a remote place. I could go on listing the many physical "insides", but the bulk of the psychological tale, the one that Gamache often spends most of his time trying to decipher when he is working on a case, took place inside…inside the mind.
It is this inside tale that was most fascinating. What was Peter possibly thinking, as Clara, Myrna, Jean-Luc and Armand trace his trail and wonder why he went where he went? What is Clara pondering as she wonders about seeing Peter and what might come next? How is Armand dealing with self-discovery?
As an aside, I am still awaiting a tale that sheds more light on Jean-Luc's, Myrna's and Ruth's backgrounds - particularly how Myrna and Ruth came to Three Pines.
Without giving away the ending, I can say how satisfying it felt to be with Armand as he makes his way home. :-)
