For two reasons. One, it is in many ways about becoming a writer, but not in one of these irritatingly obvious semi-autobiographical ways -- a female character's efforts to write fiction are thoroughly integrated into the plot and are by the end both destructive of those she loves and the basis of the book's title. Second, the book contains one of the best descriptions of war-from-a-soldier's-point-of-view that I've ever read.
I've never read Witches Abroad -- it's not available in the US! I'm a compulsive Pratchett fan. Worth ordering from overseas?
