I'm writing about our travels to London & elsewhere after we sold our home. These lines of yours about potentially living as an expat served as a terrific prompt: "How much of you was formed by a place?

What would be released if you just went somewhere else?" Thank you.

I have enjoyed these letters so much! Will you now write letters from home? I hope so. Also, can we have too many novels about courtesans? Probably not.

Trumps mouth. Hilariously accurate and slipped into this story just so.
Good story
Thanks!
