Dear Bernard,
I note from reading through comments/ questions from readers that not many are women!
As a woman I have read many of your books with great interest and total absorption (most of Sharpe all of Saxon series to date which I adore, couldn’t really get into Arthur though, didn’t like or relate to any of the characters).
Do you know when latest in Saxon series will be available in Australia?
Personally I have a huge interest in social history – what life was like for the common person in different times. I put myself into the picture and try to imagine my life had I lived then.
All I can say is thank God for modern medicine, hygiene etc. I imagine myself as a mother of warriors (I have four sons and a daughter) but the reality is that I would most likely have died in childbirth and if by some miracle I’d survived would probably have buried my children!
Thanks for taking me there anyway,
Helen
