Tremendous thank yous and Lyekka vs. Japan-sized MEGAHUGS to those who made sure I got to try that elusive and rare candy. :-)
P.S. As a bonus, found a copy of Irish author Emma Donoghue's Life Mask in an airport bookstore in Toronto. Donoghue's books lack the sexuality of those by Sarah Waters, but, aside from that, are just as gripping a read (her Slammerkin is a historical clothing delight as the main character compares the construction of her former cheap prostitute clothing with the fine dressmaking skills that she is learning)
