Your research, attention to detail, and your performance as Lady Katherine are outstanding -

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation last night - it was absolutely fascinating.
Several of our members sew and embroider (me included) so the details of fabrics, stitches, social etiquette in dress etc were most interesting.

.................truly brings her character to life

It’s a book which draws you into the life of the main character, Katharine, and truly brings her character to life. I am part way through and enjoying it immensely.
