I decided to sideline Patchy and Henry this time and make this draw myself as I love this book so much and I wanted the pleasure of pulling out the names of the lucky winners. I have only read this book in proof so it was such a delight to have a final copy in my hands. All of you who have won Resistance will, I am sure, be overwhelmed by the bravery, wit and humanity of Agnes Humbert. I feel that if she knew what we all think of her she would laugh and brush our compliments aside, but she was a brave and magnificent woman and I am grateful to Bloomsbury for sending me copies and also to Barbara Mellor, the translator, who will inscribe two for the lucky winners. So here we go:
The first two names out of the bowl were Catherine and Rhonda and they will receive two personally signed copies by Barbara. The second two names JB and Sari will recieve the other two copies. Can you please send me your mailing addresses via my email link on my blog and I will set the wheels in motion so that you have these as soon as possible.
My apologies for the slightly out of focus picture - my hands must have wobbled a bit...
My thanks to everyone who took part and glald to see so many of you showed such interest. If you did not win, please please please, do go out and buy Resistance. You will never have spent a better penny or two.
