I read them and immediately closed the book, deciding to save it for long flight to Uruguay a few days later. It was perfect for that! I hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />Lakaribane: Sorry it's such an expensive one! It does seem to go on sale every now and then, though. I've just had a look and I bought it for about £2 at the time... <br /><br />Darlynne: She definitely did that, and as you say, it's clearly not an easy thing to do, seeing how uncommon it is.

She appears to be participant, observer and reporter all at once without intruding.
