  Many people helped with the writing of this novel. Thank you, Jim Carruthers, Mark Clements, Geraldine Doherty, Charlotte Fleming, Sandy Ingram, Iain Mackintosh, Siobhan O’Tierney, Heather Reid, Graham Spiers, David Sutton, Fiona Thackeray, Bill Walker and Alice Walsh. An early draft was written while I was the William Soutar Fellow in Perth, in time funded by the former Scottish Arts Council. I am especially indebted to my agent, Judy Moir, and my editor, Moira Forsyth, for helping to sort the wheat from the chaff, and to Jim Melvin for keeping me company in all those farm B&Bs.
