Thank you for a fascinating Zoom discussion this evening Emily and participants, so good to listen to everyone’s thoughts on what I thought was a really excellent book, yes, of its time but one that stirred up so many memories for me of life in London as a student nurse back in the 1970s. I was especially delighted to discover that Lynne Reid Banks is still with us at ninety-four. I make a point now of writing proper letters (not emails) to these authors to thank them ...I wrote to Elizabeth Jenkins who was over 100 and received a wonderful reply from her carer. It seems important to let them know properly that I am grateful for the legacy of their writing.
