Of course with such an immense country (I have a postcard showing how all of Europe fits comfortably inside Australia’s borders) he couldn’t be expected to go every where, but to miss out Perth seems unaccountabl

| Some parts of the novel are very engaging and well-paced, but the constant slipping between time periods and settings breaks the continuity. The ending is too drawn out and not entirely satisfying. | |

| This is nothing like Jeeves and Wooster (which comparison I've seen in its promotional materials) - it's not a comedy of manners - but it's a well-plotted, well-paced story with convincing characters, especially the main android protagonist. If you w ...more | |

Dear Joy,Yes, I guess The Peppered Moth could be heavy going. On the subject of easier to read books, I just found a whole stash of Angela Thirkell novels at a book sale and have been enjoying them thoroughly even though she couldn't be more different from me in her class prejudice, conservatism, etc. Wonder what makes me just adore her and P.G. Wodehouse?
Thank you so much for being my friend here on GoodReads, and for acepting my friendship request/ sending a request! I am a huge fan of fantasy and also i am a keen equestrian and have ridden & worked within the industry for many years as well as 'sharing/ loaning' horses (unable to afford to buy one as yet) - so feel free to discuss both.
I have downloaded your novel the soul-travellers' on Kindle PC and i am looking forward to reading and reviewing it. Thank you so much once again.
Kind Regards
