I love this way that you've framed it!!! The writers in love with their subject. I really enjoy when people have a niche topic that they're interested in and they discuss it or write about it. Even if it's not something I'm typically interested in, if they are passionate and go deep into it, I can get enthused by their passion.

Thank you Wendy for including me here! Yes! I think you can always tell when a writer is in love with their subject, it shines through and inspires. It's definitely something I am always looking for in writing.

Wendy, I feel very honoured indeed to be among such brilliant company. That has just made my day. Sorry (not sorry) to keep you from your tax returns, and thanks so much!

Thank you so much Wendy - you are right. I’m completely in love with Hilary Mantel’s writing, and the material culture that is woven through it. Such an honour to be included in your list.
