The Kindness of Strangers

You managed to be very brutal, largely by means of implication. Saruman's malevolent, jaded and, even so, occasionally shocked perspective is an excellent lens for this chapter.

Again, my deep appreciation for your very thoughtful comments. This was a very difficult chapter to write. I think it was Isabel Allende who said you can't write about these things directly. Brutality can all too quickly degenerate into prurient voyeurism. A delicate balance.
