Dear Shauna-- We met some years ago at Blue-Met and were on a panel together. I've admired your work for so many years and have done book talks on a number of your novels, including "The Tiger's Claw" at libraries and bookclubs here in Montreal. We are also TransAtlantic Sisters. At long last, I have a new novel, "In Many Waters" forthcoming next Spring 2017. It centres on three orphans whose lives intersect in Malta and grapples with our refugee crisis and multicultural themes and issues of identity. I am contacting a few writers who I admire for blurbs. Would you able to provide a blurb? It would mean a great deal to me. If it's a yes, I can email you the novel. Or if it's better, post you a bound copy. Let me know! Warmly, Ami

We were truly moved by your eulogy to Dave. Dave was the best friend that anybody could ever have. He was a very generous person--so much fun to be with--so very creative. He had such a sunny disposition--and a wonderful smile. We wish that we could have been with him more often. Thank you for sharing his eulogy with us--your husband was a truly great person. We wish you the very best in what lies ahead for you. Suzanne and Bob Washburn

I am so sorry for your loss. I posted this to my FB: My father's best friend died on Sunday, he was 85. Dave was a hale and hearty man into his 80s. He made the trip from Milwaukee to Madison to see my silent dad, I know it was hard for him. Their friendship was forged in law school and they were so very close. After Daddy died I sifted through their correspondence, so much of it was charmingly ribald. I sat with Dave at my father's luncheon after his funeral. "You know what?" he said. "Your dad was driving up a hill and then we saw a car coming right at us. Your dad pulled the wheel to the left and we somehow all survived!" And thank god you did. RIP, Dave.

Philippa Borgal Tuesday, 12/29/15, 5:51 PM Namaste, Ms Baldwin. I met your brother, a lawyer in Delhi whose name I regret I have forgotten, on a train between Delhi and Jaipur. He was travelling to Ajmeer (I believe) for a surprise visit to his daughter at boarding school, whose birthday it was. I hadn't heard of you but since this fortuitous meeting I have read two of your books: The Tiger Claw and What the Body Remembers. I found the latter particularly moving and engrossing, and am recommending it to all and sundry. Thank you! From: Nova Scotia Email: Pborgal@eastlink.ca

Alison Candela Saturday, 2/7/15, 11:39 AM I have been so moved by "What the Body Remembers". Thank you for writing this wonderful book. It has made the experience of partition and life in India at this time come alive for me. The characters of Roop, Sardarji, and their family, their struggles to be decent people and to survive, have helped me step a little beyond my cultural experience.I feel as if I have been a visitor in their homes, in their life experience after reading this book. It is my sense of understanding something of the interior life of your characters that I so appreciate. Stay well.
