bookshelves: canadian-literature, canadian-biography, biography, murder, crime
It is an engaging portrayal of three generations of the Killins family with insightful comments about the history, geography, and life in many Canadian rural settings. The background of the familicide was engrossing but the crime itself was not treated in a riveting enough manner. Gladys Killins' landscapes are some of the most underrated I have seen in that genre. ]]>

� Lost faith is worse than no faith at all, because it leaves behind a gaping hole, much like the hollow that the Spirit left when it abandoned this accursed world.

The choice of that something—if indeed it is a choice at all—rules the destiny of men. � � Benjamín Labatut

� Ehrenfest sought relentlessly what he called der springende Punkt, the leaping point, the heart of the matter, as for him deriving a result by logical means was never enough: “That is like dancing on one leg,� he would say, “when the essence lies in recognizing connections, meanings and associations in every direction.� For Ehrenfest, true understanding was a full-body experience, something that involved your entire being, not just your mind or reason. � � Benjamín Labatut
