I love it when media fucks up the wording of the Rasputin disclaimer and ends up with shit like "any resemblance to people or locations living or dead is coincidental". I'd love to know what committing libel against a dead location would entail.

I've always loved that descriptor "exquisite" for Philippa Somerville". Not beautiful, or even lovely, but exquisite, a word that connotes craftsmanship. She looks the way she does because she was made (forcefully) aware that it was possible, and she could have very justifiably rejected everything she learned in Topkapi, but she chose to keep it, and build on it, and USE it. And Dunnett doesn't make a huge deal out of it, but there's just enough detail ("Philippa rose, and cleaned and tinted her face") to remind me that Philippa puts work into this every day. Exquisite.
