For some reason, when I saw Julie Christie in the movie with those gloves without fingers, trying to write in the cold -- I thought this was a fantastic image and will never forget it.

And read something that someone somewhere says about it and what she was trying to do in creating the female character. It's very short. Read it tonight... and here I was searching for blogs I could talk to about my own book, Packaging Girlhood, (which is fine for you to read too) but when I saw that you were wanting to read Hour of the Star I had to simply write and say, do it! <strong>jb says:</strong> Thanks for the encouragement, Sharon. I'm going to read <em>Hour of the Star</em> real soon. But I had a look at your site and your own book looks like it shouldn't be missed. One of those books that you wish had been written, and there it is just waiting for you to come along. Have to write and say, YES, READ HOUR OF THE STAR.

Both you and Andrew Taylor mentioned William Trevor’s The Story of Lucy Gault, and in the same answer, I believe. This is now tickling my curiosity... Thanks for answering John!
