[stylist] List of characters in DBG

[helene ryles]

Judith: I don't know but the Parvesh clan (apart from Katrina) don't
come into play until halfway through the book.

When I wrote this list I had to be delibrately vague as not to spoil
the plot. I'm thinking of having it right at the back with the
glossary or if it did get into braille having it seperate for easy
access.
When I read the breadwinner I didn't have too much trouble flipping to
the back of the book for all the foriegn terms. I suppose it depands
how fast your braille reading skills are.
What about tape books? How hard or easy is it to refere to things at
the back with that?
