I like the way a character was seen - very attractive, intelligent, not fussy about her son, always "ready to accept the offer of a new experience" - and not one a proper person would want to meet. Hah! so very different from our today heroes...

I´m delighted to get to know CH´s characters and the place they live, and I´m mooching his other books.
