Skinner’s epitaph lingers—quiet, heavy, impossible to shake. @dalrympleWill brings the past so close it stays with you.
Almost finished 'Return of a King' by @DalrympleWill and once again, as with 'White Mughals' and 'The Last Mughal', I arrive at the end of a hero by evening… only to sit quietly with a heavy heart.
