ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Say You’re Sorry is my eighth novel, which is seven more than I ever dreamed was possible. As always, I wish to thank my agents Mark Lucas, Richard Pine, Nicky Kennedy and Sam Edinburgh, as well as my UK and US editors David Shelley and John Schoenfelder. For their hospitality and friendship I thank Mark and Sara Derry, Ursula Mackenzie, Martyn Forrester, Ian Stevenson and the Honey family recently returned to Harare.
I wish to thank John Leece, who earned the right to name a character in the novel thanks to his generosity in supporting the Dymocks Book Bank project to help “at risk” children learn to read.
My long-suffering wife, Vivien, deserves special mention (and a medal) for her love and support. She’s my number one fan, my designated reader, my touchstone, my reality check and the person I do this for.
Finally, I wish to thank my readers in the UK, US, Germany, Australia and the many countries in between. I am humbled by the knowledge that my books are bought, borrowed and downloaded. It is a very intimate thing to share a story with another human being. It is a contract. A pact. A promise.
“Do you know how many people have taken me to bed,” I tell my wife.
And she says, “In your dreams, Pal.”
