![]() ![]() ![]() Louise introduced me to one of the bridges leading to the Île de la Cité and the streets that cross it, while I was able to show her an amazing garden, almost hidden between the Haussmann buildings, which conceals a not very edifying passage in the city’s history of Jews. Also, we would finally get to know the family of Daniel, Armand and Reine-Marie’s eldest son. ![]() Indeed, Armand Gamache’s family had a special bond with Paris since Zora, Armand Gamache’s adoptive grandmother, and his godfather Stephen Horowitz had met in the City of Light during World War II. She was staying in the Marais, the 4th arrondissement, where her hero Armand Gamache had inherited an apartment. She already had favorite places she had visited with her husband Michael and, thanks to her friend Guy, another regular Parisian visitor, she had a solid plan and some good addresses. We had agreed, for the on-site research, on a date that coincided with the Paris Book Fair, in March 2019. What a surprise when Louise Penny asked me to participate in the research for her next one to be called All The Devils Are Here, and what a joy to discover that it was set in Paris! As an editor, neighbor and friend, I feel extremely privileged to learn in advance the theme or plot element of the novel being written. ![]()
