And so the idea of belonging, of company, of home, was powerful. I’d been through periods in my life when I thought I would die from loneliness. Now, I’m paraphrasing the opening of that book, but Woolf wrote something to the effect that over the years, in each of those lifetimes, Orlando was looking for only one thing. Orlando, the main character, had lived many lifetimes in many guises. I was much taken, years ago, when reading Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. That offered company, companionship-as well as croissants and rich café au lait. I created the village as a place of refuge. The novels are set, for the most part, in the fictional Quebec village of Three Pines. I suspect most of you have already read it, but I also think some of you might be new to the series. Welcome to the first meeting of the Three Pines Book Club-gathering in this virtual location of Myrna’s New and Used Bookshop.
