Do not believe this falsehood, gentle readers. ** There are several websites on the Interwebs claiming UNTIL YOU was published in 1986. * Note that although WHITNEY, MY LOVE wasn’t published until 1985, it was actually the first book Judith wrote.

Not knowing the artist liberates her from thinking about the artist and gives her space to concentrate only on the art. The 17th century painting that has captured Ferrante’s attention is of a nun, “with hands joined, eyes closed and an ecstatic expression.” The painting is by an unknown artist, and Ferrante writes that ever since she was a young person, she liked the term unknown. ![]() I was particularly struck by her musings in an article for the Guardian about a painting in the Pio Monte della Misericordia, in Naples. Today I feel, thanks to this decision, that I have gained a space of my own, a space that is free, where I feel active and present.

She finds out that this is true, and that her step-mother, whose name was Helen, disappeared from that house, seemingly leaving her father for another man. ![]() She tells Miss Marple about her feelings, and Miss Marple believes that the feelings are not irrational or supernatural, but that Gwenda has lived in the house earlier in her life. ![]() ![]() As time goes on, she starts to think she’s going crazy, particularly when one of her visions on the staircase is of looking through the railing and seeing a woman dead on the floor, and knowing, despite her young age, that the woman was strangled and that her name was Helen.

As is only natural, they tend to look at Howard’s other heroes in terms of their relation to the Cimmerian, and look for those elements that later make their way into the much more famous stories of the Hyborian age.
