Nevertheless it is an enjoyable read (well, I liked it anyway). Susanna Clarke has done incredibly well from the book, receiving a £1,000,000 advance from Bloomsbury and at least that much again for the film rights. Since the average income for a full-time author in the UK is presently below £13,000, this is quite something. Apparently she has been working on a sequel for nearly 14 years, but I wouldn't hold your breath. But then again, you never know.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42198.10&return_msg=42198.9" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42198.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42198_11"></a><div class="message" id="message_42198_11"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">11 Jul 2018 09:12</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 11 Jul 2018 10:18"></span></span> <span class="message_count">11 of 31</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42198.11">42198.11</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42198.9#a42198_10" target="_self">42198.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Interesting.
