hello (again), Bernard.
I have just finished “Fools and Mortals”, and I wanted to say “thank you” for the pleasure it gave.
I have to admit, my anticipation wasn’t as great as it would have been over another “Uhtred” or “Sharpe” installment, but as I read everything you publish, it was a given that I’d persevere. Sorry – that sounds like reading your books is a chore – it isn’t, but some characters get a hold of you.
But I was bowled over. At times I was grinning like an idiot with pleasure at it.
Timing was perfect, as I was thoroughly unsociable one Christmas having received both your Waterloo book AND Dan and Peter Snow’s souvenir book ,and did almost nothing till I’d completed both. Then read Sharpe’s Waterloo for the umpteenth time for good measure…now I’m going to be “present”.
“Fools and Mortals” is a great story, well-plotted, well-told, and I couldn’t wait for the end. Just loved it…..thanks again.
Andrew
