Dear Bernard
I have read a number of your books with great pleasure – the subject matter is always of great interest and your depictions are fascinating.
However, I have started to read 1356 – again fascinating – but I am being distracted by the constant use of ‘and’. I openly confess to being poorly schooled in the proper use of the English language but to me there seems to be excessive use of ‘and’ in this novel which I have never noticed previously.
Is this a new direction or simply me overlooking your writing style previously?
Kind regards
Shaun
