Hi Gabrielle,
Thank you so much for the the inspiration you gave me at the Somerset Festival – your magic has certainly spurred me on!
I just wanted to let you know that Gabriell and I have both finished reading The Garden of Empress Cassia. What a gem of a book – I can certainly see why your teacher encouraged you to have it published.
Are you sure you weren’t inside my head when you created Mimi? You have totally captured our unique viewpoint and the emotional conflict that goes on inside us as we struggle to find our own identities.
Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you at many more Festivals in the future!
Best Wishes,
Joanne
