I am re-reading Henry James as a change from history. I began with Daisy Miller, and I've just finished Washington Square. What a brilliant, painful book.
Ninety-seven is my lucky number.

I have no plans for a future Jemima Shore mystery, but would write one tomorrow if a good idea came to me.
I think there has been a great deal of valuable revisionism in women's history.
