Dear Mr Cornwell Many thanks for Azincourt. It was another great read. My question is a little off-topic but it’s one I’d be fascinated to know the answer to. As a resident of Cape Cod, did you ever meet Norman Mailer who had a house in Provincetown? I know your two bodies of work are vastly different in genre and tone but I just wondered whether two of my favourite writers ever had the opportunity (or inclination) to meet up and shoot the breeze? Yours sincerely Bill Lyne, West Yorkshire.
