Pam Houston's new novel (her first novel, though she has published 2 short story collections) was released in January. I had the hardcover edition of Sighthound in my hands about a month ago. But I promised I would wait for the trade paperback. Today I read an excerpt from it:

It’s funny how love is both harder, and easier, without language.
I watched the moon, those nights, roll from one of her windows to the other. I never went to sleep myself until the light behind the mountains marked the dawn.


Willpower will be tough on this one. Also, Houston is going to be reading from the novel in Vancouver on April 3. I had contemplated being in Van that weekend to connect with a good friend from Uni, but had decided against it. Now I want to go again, even though it is completely illogical, a logistical nightmare, and not terribly feasible. *sigh*

Also, working on my project on a beautiful sunny holiday? REALLY takes willpower. 1 hour or so more, then I shall work with the horses. Because willpower only goes so far.
