Thanks for the accept - lovely to meet you here! I've just finished reading that Atkinson novel and loved it! I'm going to have to buy the first in the series now (doh!)...

Destiny isn't a deck of cards stacked up against you. It is the particular idiosyncrasies of the player, not the deck or the dealer, that hold the key. Personality always sways the outcome of the game.

P111 Becoming Abigail by Chris Abani *****
Hey there.

Several years ago I read a comment that the three great personal 'visions' of the world in print were Anatomy of Melancholy, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and Black Lamb and Grey Falcon.

I find that you may be the only person other than me to have all three listed here.
oops I can't even spell Kipling....
It's like a book, I think, this bloomin' world,
Which you can read and care for just so long,
But presently you feel that you will die
Unless you get the page you're readin' done,
An' turn another - likely not so good;
But what you're after is to turn 'em all.

Extract from Sestina of the Tramp Royal, Rudyard Kilping.
