This is such a sweeping, engaging, entertaining, and meaningful tale. Thank you for writing and sharing it.

You've certainly met and far exceeded your goals as stated in your summary notes.

It was so much fun to read, through and through. A deft, seemingly effortless swirl of story, characters and relationships, rich settings, history, and, of course, important philosophical (Stoic) themes.

It would be wonderful if you continued in this vein, and of course your non-fiction too, if a movie adaptation doesn't cut into your time too much!

Thanks again.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words! I'm glad my intentions came through in the story and I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I'm going to try my hand at historical fiction next, which has its own challenges...a mixture of history, philosophy, art, and gardening (and mystery and romance, of course) set near Rome in the early 18th century. Your support is helping to bolster my confidence as I strike out on this new path! Take care, Brittany
