Quote by Louise Penny

“I was gay bashed in Montreal when I was a kid by a group of grown men. That was terrifying." They'd grown silent.and, there was just the crackling and muttering of the fire in the background as Olivier spoke. "They hit me with sticks. It's funny, but when I think back that's the most painful part. Not the scrapes & bruises but before they hit me they kind of poked, ya know?" He jabbed with one arm to mimick their movements. "It was as though I wasn't human." "That's the necessary first step!" Said Myrna. "They dehumanize their victim. You've put it well" she spoke from experience. Before coming to Three Pines, she'd been a psychologist in Monteal. And, being black, she knew that singular expression when people saw her as furniture.”
