• “In January of 2020 my book group read Amor Towles’ novel, A Gentleman in Moscow... only two months later, we would also be put into a state of “house arrest” or isolation on Denman Island... I did learn some ways to master my circumstances and hopefully to live more cheerfully.” — The Islands Grapevine – April 23rd, 2020 (April 23rd, 2020)
