I'm up, i'm up - almost seven hours of sleep and had a surprisingly early phone call from Muse Margaret because she cleared her morning to finish the book. And I'm happy to say she loved everything in the last ninety pages save for one tiny sentence that I immediately removed while talking to her. She said I made her cry, and while I don't find the book sad, there are touching things in it and those are the trickiest to write, especially with this book. But I was most happy with her loving the two major episodes that are in the last twenty pages of the book - both of which I knew would be there from the start and both of which I could not wait to write. So, now the book goes to the proofers.
