thought provoking read...

I only last year read TKAMB for the first time. In reading about the 
contents of the 'new book'... and reading in the papers about people who 
think that publishing it was a manipulative move on a woman no longer 
possessing her faculties and without protection since her older sister who 
was a lawyer died a few years ago... I've pondered about the 'father 
character' being, or seeming to be two different characters in the two 
books.  Katie's essay reminds me that my view will always be a bit off.
