I've been told you write fiction, but this is the first of yours I have read. It's a gripping tale, and such a tragedy. How could she go on? How?
Hold her husband accountable is itself an ominous statement. What is she going to do? Will it involve a scythe or a hatchet?
Excellent story. Wow.
I am so grateful for that powerful response. Fiction for me is risk-taking, because it's personal. Science and history, well they speak for themselves. Fiction is more a lens into our own psyches.
I think Maricia plans the worst punishment for her husband: public exposure. Usually this sort of neglect is private. Nobody acknowledges it. But public shaming....that will do it. Ditto for the cleric.
Thanks so much for the encouragement :)
Warm regards,

You must read this one.
I read so much and forget most of it but some stories just stick with you and this is one of those.
I remember reading this one myself now! So I have read her fiction before. Stunningly great story. Holy cow.
