Dear Sir

Harper aside, whom would describe as the love of Sharpe’s life?  For me whom forgive me, will only read the series from the Rifles onwards, it’s surely between Lucille and  Teresa?

For me they are difficult to separate, I realise Sharpe was unfaithful to Teresa, but I think at the time he did that, he would’ve also been unfaithful to Lucille given the same circumstances.

But as his creator, you’re going to know Sharpe better than I ever could.  Whom do you feel was the great love of Sharpe’s life?  Jane obviously hurt Sharpe and you mention ‘Astrid’ in some of the books I’ve read.

Also on a totally random separate side issue……………has Sharpe finished with Lord Pumphrey?  Or is there still a debt to be settled as far as Sharpe is concerned?
