Enchantment and Sorrow, Gabrielle Roy

Gabrielle Roy's work never fails to delight me. Her writing touches my heart in a way no other author does (aside from L. M. Montgomery) and her autobiography was especially akin to my soul. I relived my days in Paris through her - looked forward to my plans for London. Marvelled at the fragility and faith she saw the world through, and knew the guilt and quandaries she felt. Lost and eager, I took heart that one day I too shall find my voice. I mourn that she did not live to write the other two volumes of her biography, to tell how she finally found her way as a writer.
