Australia

[edit | edit source]
  • Margaret McKay - could Kathi be Nicholas's twin given how much they share? Brief responses to WG050 letters and articles

Scotland

[edit | edit source]
  • Ann McMillan - prefers HN to LC because more believable, weighty, psychological; FFJ a better villain than Gabriel

England

[edit | edit source]
  • Jenny Coles - suggests some works related to Montrose as requested in WG049; recommends many other historical novels
  • Felicity Dunn - thanks Maureen Allen for timeline; would young Henry really be all that worse than young Nicholas or Lymond? and other responses to prior letters]]
  • Dorothy Whitaker - enjoyed Chivers's audio of NR read by Steven Pacey--but it turned to Flemish side 22! Chivers aplogized and replaced
  • Kate Hannam - wants all previous issues WG and MK, having started with WG049; if the LC about love, the HN about obsession--both, fate versus free will
  • Isobel Fisher - physical similarities between Kathi and Sybilla indicating ancestry; at end of TLWL many clues, no answers
  • Pamela George - believe in inherent goodness Nicholas so suspending judgement on Scottish Plan; Gelis is a betrayer; Clemence a breath of fresh air, Anna too
  • Sandra Hall - responses to excellent WG050 essay by Pauline Brace, and several letters
  • Jo Kirkham - could FFJ be ancestor Leonard Bailey? enjoyed TLWL
  • Ros Williams - list of Nicholas's faults, doesn't want him to be Lymond's ancestor
  • Rose Tomson - thinks Marian pregnant at end NR and when left Bruges in SOTH; grateful to know other involved readers
  • Betty Cooper - winded by first read of TLWL; on second, Nicholas not as unredeemable as suggested; Gelis cold and calculatingn; Kathi is Nicholas's soul-mate
  • Angela Wickham - hooked by TLWL but reservations about Nicholas/Gelis games
  • Janet Kebbell - people seem appalled at Scottish Plan revealed in TLWL, but isn't it like Lymond's attitude to exercising power in Russia in RC?
  • Jen Downing - Jodi and Henry; is Henry believable? Could Bel be Alice Shaw? What is important about Coldingham?

France

[edit | edit source]
  • Paula Charpentier - astrological lore on those born like Lymond in the Year of the Dog

Canada

[edit | edit source]
  • Joanne Schmeier - introduces self as longtime LC reader; why prefers it to HN; loved The Thrylle of Victory spoof
  • Sharel Miller]- details some history books that bear on Dunnett novels; loved TLWL and has questions but avoiding spoilers
  • Only in MK051: Phyl Good - glad to have read HN before LC, thinks Nicholas redeemable, is a Gelisite; what is Eloise's story?
  • Nancy Silberstein - the attraction in fiction of Character Torture; Nicholas's sufferings less powerful because no one forces him to face the guilt he feels, unlike Margaret Erskine and Richard Crawford for Lymond
  • Branton Lachman - any meaning to Nicholas's one or two dimples? Sees precognition in WG049 article by Nancy Corkill on TLWL
  • Jennifer D. Gile - summary of many theories etc. re: Nicholas on Dunnetwork, which is supplanting MK and WG as forum; Steven Pacey annoying in interview though good on tapes
  • Nancy L. Smith - began reading Dunnett in early 80s; depressed by end TLWL at Nicholas's isolation, glad WG050 made clear the tie-ins of HN to LC; Gelis is warped
  • Nancy Wyman - TLWL
  • Sandra K. Sorensen - responses to others' letters about TLWL
