Who reads romances?
At the local Romantic Novelists' association lunch, yesterday, we had an excellent speaker - Jenny haddon - who spoke to us about the history of the RNA (full write up here).
She quoted one of the ex-presidents as speculating that romantics - and people who read romance - are at heart optimists, looking for the expected happy ending. The same person had said it was as well that Britain had been led by a romantic - Winston Churchill - during WWII.
