Quote of the Day:
Questions about Gail’s Parasolverse? Wiki that sheez!
Hello,
Your recommandation of “Daughter of the Empire” is right. Feist’s trilogy is a must-read. I read this trilogy of a strong woman in an alternate medieval Japan 12 years ago and I still remember it very well.
And one question about the picture of you in some non-American city. The slate rooftops, the granite rampart, the cathedral spire in the background all indicate that it was taken in Saint Malo in France. Am I right? If so, when was it? It must have been before I became one of your readers, or I would come. (I live in France).
Regards
Yes, that’s St. Malo. I was there for the book Festival several years ago, 2013. It’s so beautiful.
Hello. I hope that you had time to go to the nearby places of Cancale (to enjoy some seafoo) and the beautiful and unique Mont Saint Michel. Regards.
Sadly no, whenever I am anywhere for a book event I rarely have time to travel elsewhere.
