Dear Nicolas,
Soon after
I arrived back in U.K I lent '80 Days' to Jack, a
francophile friend I knew would enjoy it----
he was 79 and a former colleague of mine.He had it for 2 or
3 weeks and when I called again he was noting
the ISBN no. so he could order his own copy.I knew he had
limited time before him [emphysema] but was
shocked to hear of his death only a week later. So '80 Days'
was one of the last experiences he enjoyed.
Last month I lent it to a friend who grew up in Brussels
during the War then married an English Captain.
She, too, at 84, really enjoyed '80 Days' |
