Great story telling! A wet, miserable Saturday afternoon totally transformed. I thought I was in Alice in Wonderland or Hansel & Gretel, following the crumbs. Patience's apartment was Moulin Rouge, a sleazy landlord, a runaway and a four legged friend. I'm not naming any names, you'll have fun trying to decide who did what and when..I have read all of AF's books, enjoyed them. So if you haven't read it, wrap yourself in a big fleece, a cuppa and get started!
