“The Munns passed, walking in step. Emma thumped on the window, but neither of the ladies turned. Something about their solidarity, their sureness of purpose, made her feel lonely and left behind.” ~ from “Going Ashore” happy birthday, Mavis Gallant! today she would have turned 100. she’s one of my favorite writers and when i started reading her short stories, something clicked in me and the way i saw writing changed. i would not be the writer and reader i am today without her. cheers, Mavis! #bookstagram #books #booklovers #booklover #mavisgallant #canada #canadianwriter #canadianliterature #readtheworld #bookstack #shortstories
