Sometimes the greatest joys are rooted in the deepest sadness. Author Reply: Life seems to be like that, alas. And in the fact that happiness never lasts; that's what makes it so intense. I think that is woven very deeply into all Tolkien's Middle Earth writings. | |

A wonderful and believable chapter. I really like Faramir's relationship with Elboron here. Author Reply: I don't see Elboron as being 'another Faramir', but the sort of son you can be friends with. The relationship has to be particularly poignant for Faramir because of his relationship with his own father, as you've examined so beautifully in some of your writings, Raksha. | |

Poor Eowyn!This could so easily happen.I really felt for little Elboron here. Author Reply: I think it often does happen that a woman who's had a stillborn child just switches off. Nowadays people would be buzzing around offering her 'therapy', but I think it's almost always better to let people find their own way out, while giving them all the support you can - and not getting frustrated and angry if, for a time, they can't give you anything in return. | |
