Dear Sir

I am currently re-listening to Sharpe’s Gold.  Everytime from the first time I purchased the paperback, to listening to the fantastic William Gaminara read it to me on Audio-Book, the genius of your writing inspires me to get extremely annoyed at Major Kearsey.  Major Kearsey is adamant that Britain has let Spain down, and what frustrates me is he’s conveniently ignoring facts like broken promises made to Britain/Wellington by Spain.

I actually admire Sharpe’s restraint in this book, because I think there must have been occasions where he’d have liked to give him a little slap?  Particularly when Kearsey was being patronising or condescending.

He was an honest man, which i know is supposed to be admired, but I cannot bring myself to either pity or like the man.  What did you think of Kearsey?

Also, Harper aside, whom have your 3 favourite friends of Sharpe been?  Mine are Sweet William, Hogan and Jorge Vicente.
