In which my mother is always right...

[j_cheney]

My mother told me she really liked Early Winter, Near Jenli Village (at least I remember it that way), and her tastes were validated today by Lois Tilton over at IROSF, who gave the story a RECOMMENDED review!

A sad and quiet tale about wounds that even kindness and love are not enough to heal.

I am full of squee!!! And thanks to marshall_payne for the heads up!

On another note, I went to the brick-and-morter book store today and was frustrated that I couldn't find what I was looking for (hardbacks of the last two books by Jim Butcher, and the first two books by rclementmoore). That is less worthy of squee. I gave in and ordered on-line.

That story is beautiful and sad. The movement -- from the young husband's sexual frustration to the revelation of the abuse to the young wife's suicide -- surprises at every turn, yet when one looks back over each corner one sees it was natural, inevitable. Well done.
