The kitchen sink
Deanna mentioned that axiom about every woman needing a window above her kitchen sink. She can’t remember where it came from, and neither can I. Something CanLit, I have a feeling. I remember discussing it in a class, how the character received the advice from her mother, but then proceeded to reject kitchen sinks altogether in favour of the world outside that window. Or so I think. Any chance of enlightenment?
I think Sam Lamb (http://samlamb.blogspot.com) might have solved it! It’s from The Gathering, and she’s right..
But it must be elsewhere too. Anyone? Anyone?
Must be elsewhere, as I’ve not read The Gathering yet, but it’s *so* familiar. I shall echo, anyone? Anyone?
This is mentioned in Laura Lippman’s What the Dead Know.
