C.C., I just finished chapter 2. I needed Kleenex to get through it. It's wonderfully writtenand the flashback story was beautifully and tragically told - especially the last moments of the father's leaving. I also appreciated the detail work on that 'beautiful' orphanage. Great!
Thank you. Visual descriptions of environments, characters, etc was something I had to consciously and actively try to build in to the story because it’s not something that comes naturally to me. I can’t think in pictures and find that kind of stuff mostly useless when I read it in fiction [see below article for a deeper explanation].
I know most people can visualise however and typically use that ability to enrich the fiction reading experience so I have attempted throughout the book to include visual descriptions where ever and to the best of my ability.
Thank you for reading the book this far. I am honoured and happy you’re enjoying it.
