Ok, I admit that I left the last part because I was lost in all of the (highly amusing) “battles” in the comments. I’ve now reread the complete story and agree with others that this story is a triumph for mrs G/Gnomie. I was pretty uncomfortable with the setting but, as in other ways, I had to park my preconceptions and read open to new points of view.
so, to the story ….. read it!! It’s rather good (British understatement..).
this is a great addition to GA. THANK YOU 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
