Hi. Just started reading Red Sister, and I came over this sequense in chapter 9; ""Then our visitors have either flown here on eagles or taken a very long walk in order to come upon us unannounced..." "Eagles?" Nona asked." "A joke dear." The abbess frowned..." I can't help but wonder if it is a slight nod and joke upon J.R.R. Tolkiens' eagles in his books, or just a happy coincidence? Either way, love it!

It was a slight nod, just as Sister Apple, the poisoner, is a slight nod to Snow White.

"When you've committed yourself to violence it takes an almost inhuman effort to stop short. It's one of those things that once you've started need to be finished, rather like coitus, interrupting that's a sin, even the priests say so" J.A. Have you ever unleashed your inner Jorg? (your readers were there and we testify your innocence) If Jorg were Emperor of our present world, would he abolish all religion?
