Then come Christmas I was given another copy. I offered them to various people but it was so popular that all had read it by then. Then a wonderful opportunity came up —I use a mini-cab company quite a lot to & from Heathrow and the drivers are Afghan boys. We always have wonderful chats and I found that they were longing to read this book. So eventually my two copies found a good home.
