The novel was adapted (by Harris himself) into a film of the same name in 2007, directed by Peter Webber. Audiobook versions have also been released, with Harris reading the text. The novel was released with an initial printing of at least 1.5 million copies and met with a mixed critical response.

Buford refused, and Tarleton charged the Americans, routing them. He overtook Buford on May 29 just south of the North Carolina–South Carolina border (in present-day Lancaster County) and demanded his immediate surrender. Colonel Banastre Tarleton pursued him with a force of about 250 to 300 British regulars and Loyalists made up of cavalry, mounted infantry, and dragoons. ![]() In late May, Colonel Abraham Buford’s patriot force of 350 to 400 Virginians, primarily infantry and the only significant body of Continentals remaining in the South, retreated toward North Carolina intending to join militia units there and help rebuild the American army in the Carolinas.

The story takes Adam Brewster, who's a novelist and screenwriter, from infancy to old age - his father, unknown for most of the book, his mother, a ski instructor who's away most of the time, his stepfather, an English teacher who transitions to female and whom Adam adores and worries about. ![]() I met him when he was a soldier and I was an infant. Front row, center is my biological father, who I have no memory of meeting. SIMON: And the one above it, people in the - it looks like Air Force. IRVING: That is my daughter Eva, who I'm sure we'll talk about. Family photos fill the walls there, and any fan of John Irving's novels will find similarities between his characters and the stories in those photos - a little boy who didn't know his father, New England prep schools, wrestling tournaments and the families we assemble. SIMON: John Irving's office is a floor above his home in a Toronto condo tower. ![]() Whoever thinks those things up should be shot.

Anthea didn't have a chance in her contest in book one, and in this story *spoiler* the heroine wins by sheer grit and talent and single-minded, woman-scorned purpose. An interesting bookend, when I think about it. This story was another lovely chapter in the saga - another Cinderella story - except for the kick-ass scene at the end where the heroine pulls out all the stops to win a TV music contest. It's an interesting addition (I still think book 12 is the true thematic ending of the saga, with it's emphasis on Oscar Warrender and his place in opera history and his musings on what love did for him as an artist and a man) So, this is the last book in the Warrender Saga, published in 1985, a year before Mary Burchell died. ![]() |
