Your interesting interview encouraged us to find a novel by Jonathan Bennett. Being in Peru, our options were limited but we were able to download Entitlement to my Kindle. (What a boon to the traveller e-readers are!. What a read! Once we’re back we’ll find After Battersea Park and The Colonial Hotel. Thank you for the continuously inspired and inspiring interviews.
Thanks for your comment. Hope you will enjoy Jonathan’s other books just as much!
