10 Nov 2018Hello Mrs Golding,
my sister and I fell in love with your writing reading the Savant Series. I like the writing style, the stunning stories, which all are special and different, and I specially like the amazing characters.
Now I discovered you are a former Britisch diplomat and Oxfam policy adviser, which impresses me as I want to become a diplomat. However, that’s not the point right now, what I wanted to say:
Thany you for your books and the wonderful hours they bestowed on me!
All the best!
