Aaahhh, I love this novel. I hope you were surprised and moved and proud of your work after all these years. It's always such a strange thing to reread your own published work after a long interval. It often feels like a different person wrote those words, in a beautiful but bemusing way.

Thank you Julie... and you are perfecly right, it was strange to re read my words, I was amused, at times irritated (I wanted to cut so many sentences!) and often surprised. But proud nonetheless!
