Happy Birthday, Gail Godwin! May your special day be filled with delightful surprises—though perhaps nothing quite as odd and captivating as your legendary bestseller, "The Odd Woman." After all the complexities you’ve unraveled through the years—from diving deep into character psyches in "Glass People" to masterfully stitching narratives in "Evensong"—it's impressive you're still sane enough to celebrate!Your remarkable talent for crafting vivid tales and memorable characters has made literature richer. Here's hoping this birthday brings joy that rivals seeing your name atop The New York Times bestseller list again—or at least cake equally satisfying. Happy writing—and celebrating!
