Went over to Amazon and availed myself of the 'Look inside' function. You get the first nine pages, which seem to be a self-contained short story and a very entertaining and droll one at that. Quite a beautiful setting too. It's cartloads better than a lot of the dross that gets published, but then again, you have not been invited to dinner where one of the guests is a publisher and the publisher says 'oh you must let me have your manuscript' and the publisher fancies you and you get lunch at the Ivy and an advance - of the unwanted sort.

This is your long-awaited Bildungsroman, right? I've ordered the paperback and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Any chance you could list this on American Amazon?
Congratulations, mate. I look foreward to reading it. Good timing too, just finshed a book
