Oh well. Thanks for struggling through it so we don't have to.

Looks like you're in for something much better, though. "Nominated for the Man Booker Prize, an exquisite tale of romance and rivalry, gambling and greed, from one of England's finest writers." Derby Day, a story that "gallops to a finish that no one expects."
