I read the above and was overcome with an urge to re/read all your wonderful books, primarily Fair Weather which stands out as one of the best books I have ever read. Ever. <br />Anyway: there I was, enjoying the brought-to-life setting and growing increasingly more curious about these three...err..ladies. Loved how you sprang THAT on us! Thank you for a lovely moment of escapism!
