I often find this enhances the experience.<br />Another title for my reading list.

Thank you for your perceptive comments...Dear Avril. Thank you for your perceptive comments.I remember being so excited about this one and enthusing about it with you in one of our writing - and other - conversations. I too wish it had received the promotion that would have made it much more widely available.(it was very heavily borrowed in British libraries and had respectable but not astounding sales...) I had a twinge of sadness as I read it again. But it still lives - our Iconic book group conversation shows that. And it will live again. I feel it in my waters. <br />Geri's commentary is indeed lovely and very much appreciated. wxWendy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532817003318632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812243316870148126.post-36649073019197196842012-03-25T09:14:33.019-07:002012-03-25T09:14:33.019-07:00I had forgotten about the game of chess too Wendy!...I had forgotten about the game of chess too Wendy! and yet I now remember us discussing it at the time you were writing Honesty's Daughter. In my view this was and should have been seen by the publisher as a 'breakthrough novel.' It did not get the coverage - marketing etc etc it so deserved. A complex novel that explores the social history of the early twentieth century at its time of greatest change, both here and across the water in Colarado Springs U.S.A. - I look forward to it being widely available on Kindle where it will undoubtedly find many new readers. And what a lovely review by Geri!Avrilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292014792864517125noreply@blogger.com
