Isn't life simpler with so much stuff in storage, though? I would love to put a good portion of all that I've accumulated after living in this house for 35 years! Too hard to get rid of stuff, but storage is an option...
I have tried to find Jane Gardam's email address. Unlucky so far, though I have found her agent. I guess it wouldn't hurt to write to him. Haven't had that much luck with agents. When we discussed Anne Tyler's last book, I wrote to her agent and heard nothing back. About two months later (after the discussion was over),I received a post card from Anne herself, apologizing, telling me that my letter had just been forwarded to her!
But all agents are not alike - and this time I have an email address.
