I just finished this book a few days ago. Having been a "day girl" myself at Newbury, it had a very emotional effect on me. And yet again it would appear that my path crossed with Julian before I was even aware of him.
I visited Newbury late last year, and it is unrecognisable. Those beautiful trees at Penwood really do seem like a millennium ago. And the worst thing is, after all that, the road is even uglier and more pointless than anyone could have imagined. Go figure.
