Hi Iolanthe and Virginia,
Virginia, thanks for the compliment and the plug.
Iolanthe, I know this one. At the risk of sounding like Gollum, it was my birthday present. Female Hawk's
The Gift of Words was the second best birthday present I have ever received. (The first best being the dog I had begged for for many years as a child; I doubt I'll ever get a present to top Pepper, so "second best" is no disparagement whatsoever.) It is well worth a read. Then again, given that Female Hawk was the author, that should go without saying.
Joy,
Lynn
