Now that I am back from holiday and am recovering from a virus I shall complete my ABC about writing.
As
a reader and a historical novelist I consider a strong theme is essential. For
example, the theme of Gone With the Wind (until the end of the novel) was
Scarlet O’Hara’s unrequited love for Ashley Wilkes and the theme of Romeo and Juliet
was unconsummated love. In my novel, Sunday’s Child it was the hero’s fear of
his future wife becoming pregnant caused by a dreadful experience when the
British fought against Napoleon in the Iberian Peninsula.
