This is very sad.. previous posters have highlighted her research and scholarly approach to her writing..I often came away astounded at the depth and breadth of her landscapes. Remarkable writer.
On a separate note, get back to King Hereafter... it is really worthwhile.. leaving aside the origin it postulates for Macbeth, it's a rewarding, fantastic richly layered book. Read it, it's worth it.
Cheers
