One of the unanticipated delights of having a book out in the world is hearing from readers. Every few months I’ll get an email or handwritten note. Most times, people want to tell me about their reading experience. Sometimes they have a question or two. Occasionally they have a complaint. And sometimes they want to share an extraordinary connection, such as the time I heard from a woman whose mother-in-law knew Marcel.
