Liz, I love the captivating tone of your writing. My favorite passage: "Each evening, upon his return, Sylvie awaited him with a meal prepared, their interactions often draped in a veil of quietude. Their routine unfolded with a predictable cadence: dinner, intimacy, slumber, punctuated only by their weekly sojourns for barbecue on Saturdays, indulging in the early-bird offerings without fail". Splendid. Marvelous. Captivating.
That is a wonderful vignette. And The Patrick Melrose Novels is among my all-time favorite books.
