Dear Sir,
I stumbled on to The Secret Memories of Lord Moriesson. So far I have just read eight installments and each enthuses me and encourages me to go on despite the fact that all deal with the same event.
I must record my admiration for your style of narration. The language you have used is of the period and there is not a single slang or modern usages that have distorted the pleasure of reading literature. All through the eight installments that I have read so far, made me feel as if I was going through R L Stevenson, Daniel Defoe or Charles Dickens.
It is very smooth and descriptions of intimate events are very sublime and enchanting except of course a few paragraphs relating to savagery of the Africans. I think you could have described those parts also nicely by confining His Lordship's taming by the king with the help of his other pages.
It would maintained the sanctity of gay love making and not make it revolting. Those few parts created horror in me. Your could have at least balanced it or off-set the repulsion by describing in detail the relationship between William and Kodwo, the other page whom he initiated in the ways of love.
However, all other scenes aroused in me a desire of partnership with people like the peer and those he won over so far. William's adventure with Bill, his instructor and the innocent fugitive is remarkably told and I wish it is read like a text-book lesson for new comers to this realm of supreme ecstasy.
More power to your elbow.
Sheheryar,
Canada.
