For wise words, encouragement and skilful editing I would like to thank Jessica Leeke and Mike Jones at Simon and Schuster, and all their amazing colleagues. Thanks as ever to my kind readers, Josie Johns and Dan Dickens. Thanks also to my agent, Sam Copeland. For putting up with sulks and selfishness, I am as always in devoted debt to Louise.
