I suspect I knew that there might not be a happy ending. <br /> The book is though a joy to read. Rob Wilkins**, is now, whether or not he wished it, an author; and a fine one at that. As I feared, Chapter 20 was a hard read, but it must have been oh so heart-wrenchingly difficult to write. There were tears welling - and a break to make coffee - before I attained the Epilogue. I shall re-read Pterry's later novels with a new appreciation for the effort it took to create them.<br /> <br /> * I suspect my brother, though he denies it.<br /> ** Incidentally, page 294, the pea would roll. Possibly off the plate.</div>
