Reply To: Still Life: Why do you think the village of Three Pines is not on any map?
Definitely agree with Tara and Susan. Looking at the Three Pines in “Still Life” through the lens of future books surely informs how I think about this question. And, Three Pines is a refuge. Susan and Tara pretty much capture how the villagers fit and how they show they belong.
In my view, it is not only a benefit that Three Pines is not on a map, it is probably essential. As welcoming and generous and open minded as the residents of Three Pines are, I am not sure that level of trust and personal knowledge would be possible unless Three Pines remained a village. It is the villagers who make Three Pines a refuge, a special place. It’s “undisclosed” location makes that possible.
