I'm just back from a short holiday. Is there anyone out there still reading?
I did scamper through the last section before I went away and I thought the denouement was very good, though the cleaning-up must have taken a fair bit of effort. It was good that they managed to stop the feud there.
It's all pretty merciless, isn't it - the women being hanged for consorting with the suitors for example. However, that's no doubt a very accurate reflection of how things were then. And of course we haven't really progressed very far since then, have we.
