Summary:
TRACY: I have the most wonderful little house in Unionville. It's up on a hill with a view that would knock you silly. I'm never there except in the hunting season, and not much then, and I'd be so happy to know that it was of some real use to someone...
Mike becomes a real author while Dexter and Red figure out if the pieces still fit - or if they ever did.
I love these characters so much and they are played by such amazingly iconic actors (Hepburn, Grant, Stewart) that I would be terrified to get it right. But this author does it so freakin' well. Reminds you the characters have substance with or without the actors saying their words, but still... you can see them there...
Constancy Remus and Minerva Gen REMUS AND MINERVA GEN Shut up and take my money!!! I love them so much and have such a strong and strange headcanon for them that this story fit so amazingly...but it didn't read as Ridiculous-To-Anyone-Not-Me. Everyone will love this soft and beautiful relationship expertly rendered.
This last one wasn't technically a gift for me, but seriously, it's pretty much a gift for anyone who loves well told stories about characters rife with possibility that you wouldn't have thought or imagined if you had the world of time to create it. It's a gift for anyone who's love of books and libraries is only reviled by your love of language and the human condition. ♥
Bibliomancy Irma Pince was called as Librarian to fulfil the vision of the Hogwarts Library. She's spent her life turning that vision into reality with the complicated magic of books. People are no less complicated.
