Note: This post is restricted to chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9 from Dragonfly in Amber. There are few things about Raymond that attract readers the very first time Claire meets him.

Malva’s mother is enigmatic. There are bits of information that are given about her throughout book 6. However, the reader is left wanting for more information even after the detailed description of her given by both Tom and Allan. This post is speculative since there is no much information given about Malva’s mother and her […]
