Acknowledgements
This one is for you, eyeballs in the sky. Thank you for joining me on this amazing ten-year journey. I honestly wouldn’t have kept writing it if you didn’t keep reading. So this is all your fault. May your tea always be the right temperature, your book never boring, and your world changed for the better by love. Props to my amazing team of beta readers, after twenty-odd books, it’s a lot for them to keep track of! And thanks to my darling Piper J Drake, her friend Miyuki, and the charming Mr Kato, who together found me Mr Fujishima, who kindly lent his expertise as a delicacy reader to the Paper City, the Meiji Restoration, and beyond. (I now know the difference between geta and zori sandals and am a better fashionista because of it.)
And for Davin.
May we all live life as he did, with more vigour.
