FROM THE EDITOR

round this time of year seven years ago I spent the night on a sleeper train from Xi’an to Ningbo, China, after a week-long trip to see the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, The Forbidden City and at least a dozen other tourist sites. I went with 12 other 20-somethings who all figured we’d just had the adventure of a lifetime. But, just as we were falling asleep, a mouse climbed on top of a backpack and nearly walked on the face of another girl in our group. She screamed. Then we all began quietly freaking out, especially the two of us who were lucky enough to be on the bottom

bunks in the train. We took a flashlight and began looking up and down the car to see if there were others. Mice were everywhere, running around like they owned the place. We accidentally caught one in the eyes with the light and it hissed at us like a cat. I’d never seen anything like it before and I wanted to cry. It’s OK, you can call me a baby. We ended up sharing tiny bunk beds with other girls in our group who were sleeping above us. Because the mattresses were so small and we couldn’t move, it turned out to be a long, sleepless night. However, the experience did make one of my best letters home. That wouldn’t be the last time I slept in the presence of mice while living in China for four months as an English

teacher, but it also wasn’t the last trip I considered an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We went shopping in Shanghai, spent three days in Guilin where we toured muddy caves, bought bikes and rode them all over the place, hiked to a Buddhist temple and taught the cutest little kids. Living abroad for a while was one of the best things I’ve done so far, and I am sure others of you with similar opportunities would say the same. It’s easy to learn when everything is foreign to you. This week’s main feature tells the story of USU art students who participated in study abroad programs (page 8). Their paintings depict slices of their adventures, and hopefully they had once-in-a-lifetime experiences, too. — Manette Newbold

The Utah State University Wind Orchestra, under the direction of Thomas P. Rohrer, performs its first concert of the season, “Homecoming with Friends,” in the Morgan Theatre located in the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus Friday, Sept. 23. The concert also features the USU Alumni Concert Band conducted by Nicholas Morrison. The ensembles will perform separately and together in this annual event as part of other Homecoming festivities at USU. “The USU Wind Orchestra is the flagship ensemble of the USU Bands and is a 45-member ensemble of the finest wind and percussion players in the Caine College of the Arts,” Rohrer said. According to Rohrer, the USU Wind Orchestra plays the finest in contemporary wind music as well as time-tested standards from the band repertoire. The concert, “Homecoming with Friends,” begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for seniors and youth, $5 for USU faculty and staff and free for USU students with ID.

Stunt show coming to Logan The Cache Valley Center for the Arts season opens with Cirque Mechanics. Audiences seeking adventure and excitement can find both at the Cache Valley Center for the Arts when Cirque Mechanics presents “Boom Town,” a show that flies, climbs and contorts their way through rotating gears, trampoline walls and aerial hoops set in a prospector’s haven. The show, produced by Cirque de Soleil veteran Chris Lashua, includes humor alongside high-flying acrobatics. “It’s a wonderful show that entertains young and old,” said Wally Bloss, executive director for the Cache Valley Center for the Arts. “It’s the perfect combination of a cirque-style show with exuberant acrobatics, a mixture of clowning, some amazing machinery combined with a lovely mining town storyline.” The show tells the story of a small 1860s frontier town of Rosebud, where two ambitious saloon owners have set up shop in the hopes of cashing in on the town’s gold rush frenzy. The town’s early mining machinery and Old West props provide a playground for prospectors and adventure seekers performing an array of impressive and humorous acrobatics. The circus that ensues when they begin to feud for the townsfolk patronage, leads to a series of explosive events, exciting brawls, an unexpected romance and a lucrative discovery. Cirque Mechanics explores the relationship between man and machine. Inspired by early mining equipment

The Chamber Music Society of Logan proudly opens its 2011-12 season Thursday, Oct. 6, with Jerusalem String Quartet performing works by Mozart, Brahms and Shostakovich. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Performance Hall on the campus of Utah State University. Though barely into their 30s, the Jerusalem Quartet musicians have already won audiences the world over, both in concert and on their recordings for the Harmonia Mundi label. The quartet will visit North America in both the fall and spring in the 2011-12 season, performing in 19 cities across the continent. The Jerusalem Quartet formed while its members were students at the Jerusalem Conservatory of Music and Dance. They quickly found a shared commitment to the music that has not only endured, but has propelled them to the highest level of performance. Members of the quartet are Alexander Pavlovsky on violin, Sergei Bresler on violin, Ori Kam on viola and Kyril Zlotnikov on cello. They recently concluded a three-year residency at Musica Viva Australia with a 10-concert tour that includes Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. They also continue as quartet in residence at the Centro Cultural Miguel Delibes in Valladolid, Spain. The quartet’s exquisite intensity and commitment to the music are remarkable. Rhythmic brilliance and beauty of tone are hallmarks of their style. Their performances are strikingly energetic, blended and well-balanced. Each concert is highly engaging, pulsated per-

fectly, with sensitively hushed pauses, full of anticipation. The Oct. 6 concert will begin with the “String Quartet in D minor, K. 421” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. One of music’s most precocious, talented geniuses, Mozart’s composition combines formal delicate elegance with deep expressiveness, strength, vigor and directness. The second selection, by Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, is the “String Quartet No. 6 in G major, Op. 101.” Written in 1956, it has a contemporary, 20th Century sound which uses interesting, sometimes dissonant harmonies. The first movement has lively, brisk folk-like melodies which are delightful and exciting. The third movement begins with a lovely melancholy cello solo. The last movement becomes complex, playful, syncopated and dissonant. After intermission the quartet will perform “String Quartet in A minor, Op. 51, No. 2” by Johannes Brahms.

When: Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m. Where: USU Performance Hall TICKETS: Available at arts. usu.edu or by calling 435797-8022. Cost is $24 or $10 for students. A community outreach and master class will be held Friday, Oct. 7, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the USU Performance Hall. For years the Chamber Music Society of Logan has provided opportunities for young musicians to expand their cultural horizons, working directly with professional artists. The Jerusalem String Quartet will be helping students hone their musical skills and build their appreciation for classical music. These Master Classes are free and open to the public, middle school, high school and university students.

A slight chill in the air, a field of towering corn, and ghostly figures in the trees can only mean one thing: Fall Harvest Days at the American West Heritage Center! A brand new corn maze and a host of fall activities will be open tonight and Saturday and Sept. 30 to Oct. 29. Starting tonight, visitors can try their luck at navigating through this year’s 7-acre corn maze. If the corn maze is not enough, guests can attempt to solve our all-new hay rope course and the kids’ honeycomb maze. This season marks the return of the legendary giant slide, and there will be gourds to launch while the gourds last. If you’re in need of a break to warm your toes and fingers, indoor restrooms are nearby. Concessions will be sold on selected nights, and starting the night of Oct. 3, pony, train and tractor-pulled wagon rides will be available at no extra charge. The famous Haunted Hollow returns to the AWHC on Oct. 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, and 29 from 7 to 10 p.m. The spooks in the Hollow are kid-friendly from 7 to 7:30 p.m. each night.

Reviews by The Associated Press

‘Killer Elite’

Director // Gary McKendry Starring // Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro Rated // PG-13 for strong violence, language and some sexuality/nudity.

★★

Head butts would seem to hurt, right? That’s clearly the point of them, but it would seem to be just as painful to be the butt-er as the butt-ee. This is probably the most primal method of attack on display here, but even the noisy intensity and frequency of the skull bashings — and pistol whippings and gut punches — don’t register as anything beyond generic action-picture violence. The fact that director and cowriter Gary McKendry has shot all these brawls with the usual shaky cam and cut them in quick, choppy fashion only adds to how forgettable the film is. And you’d think that any movie starring Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham would be one you’d want to remember. “Killer Elite” allows them to show off some of the presence and personality that made these men major movie stars, but ultimately they’re just cogs in a cliched revenge tale. Statham stars as Danny, the typical special-ops, killing-machine-forhire Statham tends to play. He wants to retire, but gets drawn back in for that tried-and-true One Last Job when his mentor (De Niro) is kidnapped by an Omani sheik. Danny has to kill the men who killed the sheik’s sons to ensure his release. Owen plays the enforcer for a shadowy British society who’s on Danny’s tail. 116 minutes.

You don’t have to know about VORP — or WHIP, or OPS — to enjoy “Moneyball,” the story of how a bunch of stat geeks changed the way baseball teams assess and acquire players. Sure, it helps if you’re a fan of the sport and if you’ve read Michael Lewis’ breezy and engaging best-seller “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.” Sabermetrics — the process of applying statistical formulas, rather than on-field appearance and general makeup, to determine a player’s worth — wouldn’t seem like an inherently cinematic topic. But Lewis made lesserknown guys like Scott Hatteberg and Chad Bradford leap off the page. And the cajoling patter from Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s general manager who pioneered this experimental philosophy, would seem tailormade for screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who cowrote the script along with fellow veteran scribe Steven Zaillian. Still, what’s most pleasing about the film doesn’t really have to do with baseball. As Beane, Brad Pitt is at his charismatic best — a little weary, a little weathered, but that complexity only makes him more appealing. He’s persistent and persuasive as he tries to change the mindset of the baseball lifers who surround him. We see him rage in his infamously

volatile fashion when things go wrong, but we also see him make himself vulnerable: He’s embracing this approach as a result of his own failure. Tall, good-looking and naturally athletic — a five-tool guy, as they say — Beane was a highly-touted high school prospect who turned down a scholarship to Stanford to play for the New York Mets. But his professional career was brief, and he never lived up to the hype. This inspired him to value players for more pragmatic reasons than the traditional methods oldschool scouts use. The most important thing, he reasoned, is getting on base. And some of the players who get on

base most often happen to be undervalued, perhaps older or a little banged-up, and they come at bargain prices — which is crucial when you’ve got a fraction of the payroll of big-market teams. As he ventures into this brave new world at the start of the 2002 season, having lost in agonizing fashion to the New York Yankees in the 2001 post-season, his trusty sidekick is Peter Brand, a 25-year-old Yale economics graduate and follower of sabermetrics guru Bill James. (The character is an amalgamation of several young, up-and-coming baseball executives who subscribed to this belief). Jonah Hill is at his best here, too, as

transcend sport. And watching them upend a bastion of American culture can be thrilling. Similarly, though, the things that are wrong with the movie have nothing to do with baseball, either. Insiders and hardcore fans will probably find reasons to nitpick, as is their wont; if there’s a group of people more obsessed with details and arcania than movie nerds, it’s baseball nerds. But more fundamentally, there’s a problem with the pacing in director Bennett Miller’s film. Miller’s feature debut was “Capote,” which earned Philip Brand: the perfect foil Seymour Hoffman a for a force of nature like Beane.

son unfolded that year. It plays out in starts and stops, and then all of a sudden, we’re in the midst of the team’s historic 20-game win streak. Perhaps this is a product of the script’s development in pieces, with Zaillian starting it, Steven Soderbergh (who initially was set to direct) revising it and Sorkin submitting the final draft. Whatever the cause, the end result often feels disjointed. A subplot involving Beane’s daughter, which wasn’t part of the book, also seems like a wedged-in device to humanize him. And ultimately it seems odd to romanticize this figure who sought to strip the sport of its long-held romanticism. But like the A’s themselves at this time, “Moneyball” has enough unlikely pieces that do work — and it generates enough underdog goodwill — to make you want to stick around for the final out.

The “Study Abroad Exhibition: Germany” runs from noon to 4 p.m. Monday

through Friday until Sept. 30. It can be found in Gallery 102 located in the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU’s campus with an opening reception at 5 p.m. today.

The “Study Abroad Exhibition: Vienna” runs from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, Oct. 3-14. It will be in Gallery 102 with an opening reception at 5 p.m. Oct. 7.

“Our program is about transformation to evoke innovation,” said Robert Winward, director of the Switzerland study abroad program. “It has become the university’s largest, longest running, most popular faculty-led study abroad program.” The third program, “Art and design Study Abroad: Vienna,” runs for two weeks in Vienna, but the group visits Prague, Slovakia and Venice. Alan Hashimoto, who runs the Vienna program, said students are able to build relationships with people from other cultures. “I believe that all of the study abroad programs are rewarding for students because they are able to discover the ability to adapt to a different culture than their own,” he said. Laura Gelfand is the head of the art department and interior design program. She’s new to USU but says these trips offer a wonderful opportunity for students. “My study abroad was the single most important thing I did as an undergraduate,” she said, referencing a trip she took to Florence, Italy, while she was a student at Stony Brook University. “These trips give students the opportunity to understand the artwork and the context in which the art was made.” Terry said that once back in the classroom each fall, he sees changes in students who traveled with him that year. “I notice that students really make a very big leap intellectually and in terms of their maturity and the way they approach their classes,” he said.

a lecture hall ... people are really captivated by this environment, the landscape. It’s the perfect teachable moment when people really want to know the answer.” Terry, who spent three years living in Essen as a guest faculty member, said he’s able to provide the history of the area to students and explain the influence of those historical events on art. For people like Carl Wilson, a graduate student in photography, the trip was a way to obtain sought-after summer credits, but it also provided a glimpse of another world. “It’s always important to me to build a visual library in my mind,” he said. In his time there, he took a special interest in a unique form of art. “I was really attracted to graffiti while I was there,” he said. “I took a lot of reference photographs of graffiti, and it was kind of an element in the paintings that I produced.” While work from Wilson and other students who spent time in Germany this summer is currently on display, pieces created from a Vienna study abroad program will go up in October. This year, the Switzerland program — one of three — marked its 10th anniversay. Over the years, “Design Thinking for Innovation, a USU Summer Study Abroad Experience in Switzerland” has evolved to include a partnership with the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. That program has been hosted in the village of Leysin, about 6,000 feet above Lake Geneva in the Alps.

USU exhibit features student work Completed OVERseas

f you go to the art exhibition at Utah State University right now you’ll see sketches and paintings of scattered European villages, ancient city buildings and everyday people. Each creation represents just an hour or two of quick work done by USU students who spent five weeks in Germany this summer learning about art, culture and the past of a history-rich country. Every summer, dozens of students from USU’s Caine School of the Arts travel to Europe to expand their knowledge about their world and learn more about art. Germany’s Art Study Abroad program has been ongoing since 2005, facilitated by professor and Associate Dean Christopher Terry. Each summer, he takes between 15 and 18 students, and they stay in Essen but frequently travel around the country. The current exhibition at USU, which is having an opening reception at 5 p.m. today, features work from this past year’s Germany group. The exhibition is open to the public. “The concept behind the exhibition is to create an informal record of what the students did,” Terry said. “The presentation is very informal. While in Germany, the students spend much of the time walking around and seeing one of Europe’s most interesting countries. Terry searches for “teachable moments.” “As we walk through a city like Berlin, and these things are all around you, students ask questions,” he said. “Instead of a situation like

Your Stuff “Seasons” By Helen Graves A gentle sun warms the place. The breeze is as soft as a love’s embrace. Small green shoots line my garden space. And tiny fingers on my face. School is out and not a care. Rockets bursting in the air. Bikes race by at break-neck speeds. And children growing up like weeds. The wind blows leaves across my sill. And children grown, are precious still. The colors change across the lands. As youth fades from my aging hands.

When: Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Where: Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan TICKETS: Tickets are $13 and are available by calling 435-757-3468, or at the door. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

The night is dark. The chill winds blow. And soon, I’ll sleep beneath the snow. But the room is warm, the fireside bright, And as I lay beside you, through the night, I remember spring.

“A Daughter — For Kori” By George T. Sorters What is a daughter? A soft “good night” kiss, A warm, loving hug And so much to miss. She a tender, “I love you,” A sweet, innocent smile, God’s most precious gift ... As child for but a while. She’s dolls and frilly dresses, She’s sunshine afterwards, She’s “I’m scared, Daddy,” cuddles When storm’s thunder booms. She’s her mama’s joy, She’s her daddy’s pride; She’s proof of the love They hold deep inside. What is a daughter? She’s much through the years: She’s sunshine, she’s laughter, She’s blood, sweat and tears.

“Starting to Think Clearly” by Maddi Radford 4 hours of Indie. 2 hours of locking up. 17 hours of reality television and writing to someone who lives in England because she doesn’t know me and I can forge my personality in letters. That’s how I would spend my day, if I could. That’s how I’d spend my day. I’d take the Chinatown bus and I would kiss the babies pretending to be famous and they would snap pictures of me in my yellow sunglasses. That’s how I would spend my day, if I could. That’s how I’d spend my day. I’d look through all the old photos of you and me and smile and get hot chocolate where the barista doesn’t know me so I could pretend to be polite and if they called me miss I would tip a dollar extra. That’s how I’d spend my day, if I could. That’s how I’d spend my day. I would find a lost pen and draw pictures with it adding to its story because after all, who knows what it wrote before I found it. I’d make it play Pictionary. That’s how I’d spend my day, if I could. That’s how I’d spend my day. Tomorrow I am dancing. I will stand in the middle of the empty street and scream as loud as I can and make the dogs howl. I will swing on the hammock forever playing games of dice against myself. That’s how I am spending my days. That’s how I’m spending the day. And this is how I will start.

Umami: Making food better one meal at a time Parmesan cheese and mushrooms in tomato sauce. When you combine these ingredients, something happens on a chemical level that takes the flavor beyond the taste of each ingredient alone. It is a rounding and long-lasting taste. The whole becomes greater than the parts. The chemistry behind umami is complex. In scientific terms, the molecules get yummy. Glutamate makes it happen. Glutamate is an amino acid found in most living things, but it is bound up in a way that makes them inaccessible to our tongues. The magic happens when organic matter breaks down. This can happen in several ways ... with heat when you cook meat, over time when you age cheese, by fermentation as in fish or soy sauce or under the intensity of the sun as when a tomato ripens. When glutamate becomes L-glutamate, that’s when things get good. The umami taste has an undeniably primeval attraction. Nicely caramelized beef, savory bacon, salty ham, Parmesan cheese, wines, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire Sauce, mushrooms, and of course ripe tomatoes all have a strong umami flavor. So do Doritos and Top Ramen, although they get it from a manufactured form. There is a reason we crave foods like Doritos. Our brains are all more or less hard-wired to crave umami. Our bodies need protein, and umami flavor is based on amino acids … the stuff in meat. Umami used to be a good indicator to our brain that protein was being chewed and

our brain signaled to us to take in more. Food researchers long ago discovered the human craving for umami, and began to manufacture it as early as 1909 as a food additive in forms like monosodium glutamate (MSG). It can go by a lot of names, but chances are it was in that bag of chips or can of soup you had for lunch. There is a lot of debate about the safety of additives like MSG. Without entering that fracas, I’ll just say that you can’t go wrong seeking out natural umami flavor over the manufactured variety.

“The chemistry behind umami is complex. In scientific terms, the molecules get yummy.” How do you do it? How do you get some of that coveted umami to your dinner table? I’ve got the answer. There is one sure-fire method to get your saliva glands working over an intense umami flavor: anchovies. Okay, okay calm down. Deep breaths, don’t hyperventilate. I know you don’t like anchovies. No one likes anchovies. The little slivered beadyeyed beasts could knock you over with one whiff from their diminutive jar. But anchovies have a long history of bolstering otherwise flat dishes. They are umami bombs. Eaten properly the pungent little fish melds into the flavor of the food and lends a strong umami punch. Seafood is one of the best natural sources

You are going to need a good-quality anchovy. Look for stuff in a jar, not a can. You don’t need to eat the little fish whole by any means. Don’t put them on a pizza unless you have the very best quality. Try chopping them very fine. Even better, buy anchovy paste, in which the advanced fermenting and chopping has already been done for you. Add them to a spaghetti sauce, soups, of umami. And – brace or even salad dressing. yourself now – fermenClassic Caesar Salad tation unbinds proteins calls for anchovy as does allowing for the release of Green Goddess dressing even more umami flavor. ... and now you know why Yes, you heard it right. you shouldn’t skip it. Add Fermented anchovies are it to your pizza sauce. even better. When you get more

It was a tedious wait this year, but we finally have ripe Cache Valley tomatoes on our table. Week after week we monitored our garden for the hard knobs on the tomato plants to swell and move from dark to pale green, to that weird transition yellow, to pink, and finally to that luscious deep soft red that makes my mouth water and causes me to scamper for basil leaves, sea salt and soft mozzarella. I slice and eat three Better Boys, slurping accolades while leaning over the sink. The flavor is acidic and sweet, but there is something else ... something luscious, but hard to identify. It is savory, almost meaty. It is umami. Umami is a new kid on the flavor block. You probably already know from high school health class that the human tongue can taste only four basic flavors ... sweet, sour, salty and bitter ... that’s it (or so we thought). Most other “flavor” is actually smell; information received through your olfactory sense. Try tasting food when you have a bad cold, and you’ll understand the limits of your tongue. But our tongues may not be as limited as has been thought. There is a recently-discovered fifth taste our tongues can sense alone without the help of the nose. This rich, deep, and intensely savory taste is known by the Japanese term umami (oo-mommy). The chemistry behind umami explains some classical food pairings; putting bacon with a slice of ripe tomato on a sandwich, adding cabbage to chicken soup, or putting

accustomed to the flavor, you can eat them with black olives, green beans or a smooth soft cheese. If you are slightly faintof-heart in the anchovy arena, you can also use Parmesan cheese to up the umami factor in your life ... the real stuff, that you grate yourself. You can put good salty and smokey Parmesan on pretty much anything that needs an umami kick-inthe-pants, from meat to salad. For all of the rest of you, allow yourselves at least a thoughtful pause as you consume those ketchup smothered french fries. Umami is the reason they taste so good.

Books Novack focuses on the family in story collection By Laura Impellizzeri Associated Press

Sandra Novack has focused all the stories in her first published collection on family members, couples, friends and acquaintances who are figuring out their relationships and reconsidering the emotional assumptions and in turn the human connections they have come to rely on. Novack’s keen eye for nuances of family behavior and for the internal contradictions most people live with carries many of these numerous, fast-reading tales. She has a gift for drawing character studies as compelling as they are frustrating. And several

entries do have the kind of modest plot that can turn a character study into a story. Most notable is “White Trees in Summer,” about misunderstandings among residents of a changing neighborhood after an elderly woman dies. Novack deftly shows the divergent perspectives and responses of the neighbors, the woman’s elderly husband, the local thug and other teenagers. Often without a plot beyond recounting a character’s back story, these stories can feel airless and even redundant, however. Barging in on the life of a newly married man coping with a bipolar brother in “Memphis,” for instance, we get both too much information

acter we want to empathize with. The bipolar brother is more of a marital impediment than a complex being. And the married brother, our narrator and hero, is like a clock, marking schizophrenic outbursts and marveling at his wife’s responses but not somehow acting or causing things to happen. We hear about the household dog being lured with pepperoni and then vomiting it back up, among many other minor details. But the brothers’ happier past is in the form of sidelight details and not enough distance to complete a portrait of a char-

Author looks back at former president By Jeff Ayers For The Associated Press

Author Candice Millard looks back at a forgotten time and president and brings the era and people involved to vivid life in "Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President." This is the story of James Garfield, who never sought the presidency but became the Republican nominee in 1880. After his election, Garfield had the time-consuming task of dealing with office seekers, who lined up around the block hoping that he would appoint them to a government job. The White House was accessible to the public at that time, so it was common for a person to walk in and see the president. One familiar person was Charles Guiteau, who was frequently at the White House because he was expect-

ing an ambassador appointment. As he was repeatedly put off, the madness in his mind grew. Millard takes the reader on a compelling fly on-the-wall journey with these two men until that fateful day in a train station when Guiteau shot Garfield. The president died

11 weeks later, on Sept. 19, 1881, a little more than six months after taking office. The entire story of Garfield and Guiteau reads like a fictional tragedy, made more depressing because everything actually happened. Guiteau's stalker tendencies and the botched medical care that Garfield received after the shooting are both shocking and unbelievable. "Destiny of the Republic" also introduces Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, into the story. Bell worked around the clock to invent a new device capable of locating the bullet inside Garfield's body. Millard takes all of these elements in a forgotten period of history and turns them into living and breathing things. The writing immerses readers into the period, making them feel as though they are living at that time.

dispensed in four sentences, starting with “I would like to tell (my wife), if I could, that she should have seen Georgie before ...” Why can’t he? Doesn’t the reader deserve to see that? For readers with a craving for family intrigue, there is every possible flavor in “Everyone but You,” from college professors in a banal divorce to a child puzzling through and then looking back on her older sister’s disappearance into drugs, possibly by way of incest.

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surete du Quebec is a thoughtful man. He understands the struggles and changes that people go through over the years certainly, but overnight sometimes. In Louise Penny’s latest book, “A Trick of the Light,” the inspector starts off trying to evaluate if a speck of light in a painting changes it from a picture of despair to a picture of hope, and ends up trying to see the changes in people in the normally peaceful town of Three Pines and evaluate their validity. Penny writes mysteries that cover a lot more than the actual crime, dealing as well with the emotions, thoughts and internal struggles that people go through. Three Pines resident Clara Marrow has grown accustomed to deferring to her husband Peter’s popularity as an artist while she tries a variety of mediums to find her niche. Now she has found it as a portrait painter with a solo show opening at the Musee d’Art Contemporain in Montreal. Clara’s enjoyment of her backyard and coffee the next morning is

spoiled, however, when a body is found in one of the flower beds. The woman was Clara’s closest childhood friend — and her worst enemy in adulthood. The dead woman, Lillian Dyson, has a long list of people who hated her. But an Alcoholics Anonymous coin found on the scene indicates that she may have been trying to turn her life around and make amends.

Or that may have only been a pose. Among the clues Gamache and his able assistant, Jean Guy Beauvoir, search for is why Dyson was in Three Pines on Clara’s big day. Was she there to ask for Clara’s forgiveness or to try to ruin her triumph? But for Gamache, a thoughtful man that Penny describes as resembling a quiet academic more than the usual brooding, violent detective of many novels, there are far more questions to be answered than who killed the woman. There are the residents of the village, as well as a number of visitors who were there for the post-museum show party who might have motives — and certainly have struggles with their private burdens. Penny’s subplots are always as interesting as her main story, and “A Trick of the Light” is no exception. Characters struggle with alcoholism, fear and forgiveness. Even Clara, at the pinnacle of her career, suddenly struggles with her feelings for her husband and her longtime marriage. Penny captures readers in many ways, including with her characters and settings. And of course, a gripping mystery.

case as they try to come to a consensus as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, and try to convince the one hold out that he is wrong. Tempers flair, voices raise, and character flaws and strengths become apparent as the debate goes on. Varying alliances and attitudes shift and change as they seek an impossible agreement that will allow them to complete their assigned duty and go back to the court with a verdict.
