Reply To: Still Life: People in this novel have secrets, even Gamache. What secrets surprised you?
While not exactly a secret, as in something one specifically hides from others, I thought it was a very poignant moment when Gamache recognized that Jean-Guy’s feeling and respect for Gamache was deeply personal as well as that of subordinate for respected superior. It seemed like something Armand would not let himself acknowledge for himself. And it opens up a different dimension of the relationship and connection between the two men.
