Large Print Edition
Dedication: This book is for my children,
and their children.
Opening: The taxi, an old Rover smelling of old cigarette smoke, trundled along the empty country road at an unhurried pace. It was early afternoon at the very end of February, a magic winter day of bitter cold, frost, and pale, cloudless skies.
Yeah Yeah Yeah - this is the anti chick-lit woman reporting that The Shell Seekers was pretty much faberoony. A dribble a night of lovely story wrought incredibly real by Pilcher.
The main problem was also a mighty plus. I secured the large print which made this easy on the eyes but hard on the wrists. The french ask 'comprend', the Italian mobbsters, 'capishe'.
