That would be great. I'd love to have a running conversation about these stories.
You're entirely right about On Greenhow Hill. It is a story of lost opportunities. Whether Learoyd ever really had a chance of a better life is moot- because the woman he loved- and who might have saved him- died.
Somewhere- buried deep down in the subtext- is a debate about fate and free will.
