Years ago, I read your novels and lived inside them deeply so deeply that I reread them more than once. They were connected to an important stage of my life. With time, I forgot most of the events and drifted away from reading for a while, yet I always missed your writing style and could never find another author quite like you.
When I recently returned to your books, I realized that I had almost forgotten the details and surprisingly, that made me incredibly happy. It felt like being given a rare chance to experience the emotions all over again, with the same excitement, the same wonder, and an open heart just like before.
When I read Ice December, I finished it in one day. I cried while reading not out of sadness, but because the emotions came back with an unexpected intensity. I felt deeply grateful that your words are still able to touch my heart, despite the passage of time and the changes life brings.
I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for being part of a beautiful chapter of my life,
and thank you for writing words that can bring those feelings back to life once again.
