I had no idea you had been writing another Sharpe book, so my delight and surprise at finding it yesterday in the book section of my local supermarket was palpable. I started reading it yesterday afternoon and finished it this morning. Fantastic.
It was as if Sharpe had never gone away and was the most enjoyable read in months. Thank you. As I age, I rarely read a book in a couple of sittings and it is a mark of your extraordinary story telling abilities that I always do with your works. The period immediately after Waterloo is rarely written about, and, as always, your research and eye for detail shines through. I will never be able to visit the Louvre again without looking up to see if there is a monkey climbing over a painting.
