Aug, the pain! The angst! The hot tears of despair and shame!

This is the good stuff!!!

And poor Marcus, putting the best food on for Esca, who in pre-ELizabeth David (or v early ED) days Britain (especially Scotland, heavens!) cannot have conceived of the flavours he was being exposed to!

I do think you were a bit mean not to give him any sugar though - it's not unexpected for grownups to put sugar in their coffee, Marcus is being extra purist there!!

Still utterly engrossing btw. In cas it wasn't obvious from my comments...

ANOTHER DELIGHTFUL CHAPTER. Thank you for going without enough sleep to post this - much appreciated!
I adored Esca's Defence of British Food, it brought tears of pride (and hunger) to my eyes. But the ending, after the happy, sensual evening, that just brought tears of sympathy.

Thank you!

Ohhhhhh...I don't know if my heart can cope with this!

So much delicious tension, and then the sheer romance of that kiss. And then poor, poor Esca. *sniffles*

This continues to be gripping and amazing bb. Love, love, love.

Oh, this is shaping up to be such a treat.

Good God, I think you just broke me right along with Esca. Damn you. (Not really though, I seriously love you right now.) The timing on that kiss was perfect and how it ended was perfect, too. In short, I think you are amazing and want to have your babies. Or maybe Esca's babies. I get confused. THE END.
