What stood out for me beyond possibly all your other books (albeit a hard measure), was in one way the straightforward simpleness of the story, with a deeper and profound focus on the question of truth and lies (the crux), and the pain and suffering that can ripple through so many lives under the umbrella of choices. Yes, I had watering-pot moments.Ī quick shout-out to your most recent work Remembering Love, it was excellent. This has been a very interesting process and you uniquely, thoughtfully and passionately, have grasped human nature as a writer. The depths of, to use modern psychological words, sociopathy to psychopathy – our evil and our inherent goodness juxtaposed, all wrapped up into the human constitution. The deps of love and hurt, and the unknown or discovery, or even rediscover of self. From my perspective, you have been able to plumb the depths of what it means to be human – no matter the station wealth, knowledge, poverty to abject poverty, hunger, war and trauma both physical and mental.
This brings me to your writing style, your rich characters, plots, historical placements (love the Welsh aspect) and meaning – yes, meaning. Now I may have missed a book or two that was unavailable, however I think I’ve read near all of your work. It was the Survivor series that I had started reading of yours first – very unique, which brought me to your other series, which brought me to your individual books going back to your earlier roots, including novellas. What a learning experiences, which brings me to your books. So, jumping forward again in time, and under said urging, I embarked into the world of reading in-depth from many authors, the world of Romance novels.
Thus, as fast as the observations were made, and in all honesty, the genre was quickly forgotten. I don’t recall even my mother or grandmothers engaged in these types of books, either – would have notice that. Now to preface this by forty-five years or so, this romance genre only came to my notice as I observed ladies reading them on buses, on park benches, and who knows were else. It was two years ago, with, and under the urging of others, that I started reading Romance novels - and being a guy to boot, which I assure you was not something I had ever envisioned (O silly me). Please, no need to post this, as it is just a personal note of thanks.
