Lois McMaster Bujold:
How many years did Ista live in Valenda between her husband's death and her flight to pilgrimage?
Lois McMaster Bujold
The text never specifies exactly, but you could work out an approximation from the ages of her children. For one thing, we don't know exactly how long she lived in Cardegoss right after she was widowed, getting more and more strange, before her mother came to remove her to more out-of-the-way Valenda, at what instigation we also do not know. "About ten years" would be a fair guess.
