I would also like to thank Anna Steadman and Juliet Mahony at Lutyens and Rubinstein, David Forrer at Inkwell Management, Helen Garnons-Williams, Elizabeth Woabank and their team at Bloomsbury, and Bill Thomas, Kristine Puopolo and their team at Doubleday. Helen and Kristine formed a sensitive and rigorous editorial double act.
Eve, Lynda, Debbie, Dee, Jo and Ms. Edwards all typed various parts at various times, interpreting my curly handwriting and endless scrawled amendments. My friends, family and telephone friends visited me, phoned me, wrote to me, made me laugh and kept me sane. My dear husband gave me more than words can possibly express.
