Eric's Reviews > The Chateau

“She has a charming voice. Something of the French intonation carries over into the English, of course. But it's more than that, I think. It's an amused voice. It has a slight suggestion of humor, at no one's expense. As if she had learned to see things with a clarity that - that was often in excess of whatever need there was for seeing things clearly. And the residue had turned into something like amusement.”
― William Maxwell, The Chateau
