Copyright 2001. Whereas real people appear and historical events do occur, it is important to remember that this novel is a work of fiction, moreover, that it is recalled by an elderly, frequently forgetful narrator whose recollection of events is fair, but whose remembrance of things past has rather deteriorated. A few such inconsistencies are noted in the References page.
