This gender reversal of damsel and knight is unusual even now." - SO well-observed, Meg - keen analysis, concise - pin prick sharp!<br /><br />I REALLY enjoyed this review, Meg - and I always enjoy your writing. You have a real talent in this respect. You have a sophisticated eye and enviably readable style - content + lightness of touch - it's rare, and it's a valuable skill. And those quotes? Well, maybe people will be quoting you someday... :)tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.com
