The Amber Heart, with ancestor research and Polish traditions sounds equally wonderful. I have recently bought a book by Mr. Hamley and one by Kathleen Jones.

It's very long and I published it when I still had traditional publishing in my mind. It never occurred to me at the time that I might be able to pace it a bit better - split it into two or three and take a bit more time over it. Which, of course, you can do much more easily with an eBook. It's going on the 'maybe to do' list for next year! Thanks for the comments on The Physic Garden, Dennis. That one is going to be published by Saraband in Glasgow next March. I'm waiting for proof copies right now and hoping they arrive in time for Christmas!Catherine Czerkawskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554969254207924049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-16188056964246010412013-12-18T14:21:43.800+00:002013-12-18T14:21:43.800+00:00Agree with the others and can't think why I ha...Agree with the others and can't think why I haven't already read it (well, I can - it's called lack of time and inability to stay awake in bed) Will put this right in New year.

I know, at the very least, that I will enjoy a feast of finely managed, glowing prose and a narrative which will keep me gripped, as in the Physic Garden and all the ghost stories. I love the 'Gone with the Wind' reference, but from what I've heard so far the immediate comparison for me sounds as if it might be Hardy (without the coincidence and misery).
