I find myself able to identify with this difficulty with regard to my current novel about Reba. Reba's stories take her through several wars, but so far, she hasn't been on the front lines. She admits readily to being "not very good at war." So I've written battle scenes either from other points of view (which I do allow myself) or from her confused perspective. I find this quite adequate, given that on the one hand these battles are not historical, and thus their details are of little interest to the reader, and on the other hand, I feel like the message that war is confusion is a reasonable one that resonates with the themes of the book. Ms. Greggory's problem was surely a tougher one, and so her solution does seem reasonable.Thorinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05492104203853427769noreply@blogger.com
