Proof reading 101: Page 64 says, "dead three years after their FIFTIETH anniversary" (that means 53 total, 50 at anniversary). Page 68 says, "She'd made no promises to the priest, FORTY-THREE years earlier..." (that means 43). That's a difference of 10 and indicates lack of paying attention and a lack of proof reading. Things like this bother anyone else?

This looks like a translation issue; in the Swedish original (I have it in front of me) they actually mention "ruby wedding" (which is 40 years according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding... ) at the first occasion.
Still annoying, though!

Ooh I never picked up on that, good spotting! But when I do notice those things, yes, it annoys the heck out of me.
