Jeanne thank you for dusting off Laura's story. It is rare that we hear a story about the life of an immigrant's young daughter. You took the time to shine the limelight on her as if she was the talk of town. If not you who else would have told Laura's story? But I know why you did it. You love life and you love the common folk. You delight in delving into their struggles, their hopes and their loves. May you tell one million more stories. I for one am waiting for the next one. Warmest of greetings to you from Montreal.

Dear Alvaro, I now have this very strong image in my head, and a structure to actually do something a little more filmic with the story. Thank you again for your kind offer of this unique collection. Jeanne

To me, it appears to be a cruel game on Oscar's part. It is obvious that Laura was looking for a romantic relationship.

Shame.

Just come back from France with no internet access. I must admit, I agree with you. I was really sad for Laura. I actually did shed a tear when I realised what the end was. Thank you for commenting. And hoping you will enjoy the Stanley Chronicles.
