Wow, Lorna,. You have been busy!!! By the way have you read Mrs. Elizabeth Gaskell’s “North and South?” It’s incredible, and very prophetic in its story … Think “War” only it’s an industrial one between the Labor of England’s North and the Culture of England’s South. Check it out …

Andrea

Thank you, Andrea. I read Eminence a few years ago and was so taken with the writing, that I became interested in the series on The Vatican by Morris West.
And the series by Rick Perlstein seems quite timely particularly in view of our recent election.
