Changes

The 'Gileads' don't come out of this very well as we look inside an organisation that espouses double standards and exists despite internal bickering. This part could be a description of the inner workings of any man-made organisation and, as the wife of C of E clergy, I make no comparisons! However linked with a prohibitive, fundamentalist idea of religion where scriptural texts are quoted way out of context to prove dangerous points without argument or contradiction (unlike the C of E and many other mainstay faiths/denominations), a sinister element is introduced. This leads us to develop a greater concern for Susan and her very physical survival.

Through these and other people, Robert guides us to a bravely authentic ending which brought a tear to my eye followed by a leap of anticipation to my heart… or wherever leaps of anticipation are emitted from… wondering what will come from the Crompton computer next.
