I am totally with you on her role as a gateway to that particular genre of fiction.amandahttp://www.anyresemblance.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360091480233165032.post-35612085877841120242015-02-03T13:28:50.416+00:002015-02-03T13:28:50.416+00:00I'm totally with you on Jilly - Rivals is one ...I'm totally with you on Jilly - Rivals is one of my favourite books ever.
