That’s a cracking novel, one of her finest. I have one of those green viragos. Good idea to republish, maybe @dauntbookspub.bsky.social might add it to their Comyns portfolio?

Last minute offer.
Car has just gone kaput heading to Manchester to see the Beta Band at the Apollo.Back home safely now.

Anyway I’ve got 2 tickets if anyone wants them. Think I can just directly transfer them from the o2academy app.
