It's sometimes also true that you reread a book many years after you first read it, and you realize your perspective and perhaps sympathies have changed from one of the younger characters to the older ones...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-34178809378935936742013-09-15T03:20:02.695+01:002013-09-15T03:20:02.695+01:00Moira - Congratulations and well done!!!

And very well-done your part of that programme was, too. <br /><br />As to the book, I'm not surprised you found the older lady's story more interesting. Somehow having a few years gives one some interesting perspective. I've always thought people of a certain age had the best stories to tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-85763812480421984572013-09-14T21:52:09.428+01:002013-09-14T21:52:09.428+01:00I think a blog I read had several reviews of his b...I think a blog I read had several reviews of his books a while back and I noticed the length and said... not going to happen.

From what I see here both the writing and the story sounds interesting.<br /><br />And I love the picture.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-30304654263740985102013-09-14T18:20:12.421+01:002013-09-14T18:20:12.421+01:00Congratulations on the Guardian feature, Moira.
