Wonderful interview Pearl. Marco you did a great job of introducing Celesta and making her out to be as interesting as she was, without 'ruining' the ending.

cool story. My parents found journals and letters in their old barn, and callously perhaps, sent them to the trash. I still wonder at that gesture, and admire Marco's, the recuperative.

Just received the Haiku Canada e-newsletter. Wow. The interview with author Marco Fraticelli discovering a diary written, in the early 1900, by a woman is fascinating. The voice of a woman from the Québec Eastern townships telling her story in her own words, from 100 years ago, is an invaluable historical document about an ordinary woman's condition.I am ordering the book, right now. Thank you Marco, and to to sister, for doing this.
