Dear Mr Cornwell, My compliments on your very entertaining style of writing. Of all your stories, my favourite series is Sharpe — each book of which I have read at least 3 times (in 6 months). I have a query about your character of Teresa Moreno. She is based on a true-life character of the time — please tell me who? And is there any further information about the real partisan? Thanks, and keep up the new Sharpe stories. Jane Russell
