How wonderful to have the book translated into the very language whose need it serves. Wonderful! And hope you enjoyed the Palace as much as I did. The quietness is what impressed me most. Odd that my blog was about another occupation of the same territory. Its terrible when people are deprived of their own language. i've seen the results of this in Southern Africa.

I do think that sometimes fiction can express fundamental truths better than the plain facts of journalism or history can. But at the same time its important not to distort facts too much to suit the 'story' demands of fiction.

Lily, amd so gald that it had had such a great reception where it most matters. <br /><br />You've also expressed the complications of writing about real & historic events so well. Such stories can end with truthful & realistic choices for the characters.. However, to then develop all this into a follow-up "plot" might not feel right, or as you say, be for other voices like those of your young friend. Lots to think about here.
