ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The vision and expertise of others transformed a meagre pdf attachment from me into this book. Thank you to Georgina Capel, my agent for 25 years. Thank you to Maggie McKernan Editor-at-Large at Head of Zeus, to Clare Gordon, Assistant Editor there and to Clémence Jacquinet, Production Director. I fear that one way or another I drove them all up the wall. Thank you to Jenni Davis for her scrupulous copy editing, to Adrian McLaughlin for his impressive typesetting, to Cliff Murphy for his indexing, and to Anna Morrison who designed the jacket.
I wrote much of this book at the London Library in St James’s Square. It is a special place – a million books to be borrowed or browsed, online access to articles and archives, friendly and hugely knowledgeable librarians. I was spurred on there by a WhatsApp posse of writers. We wait for the library doors to open at 9.30, save each other places and share cake and coffee and occasionally champagne. When I work from home I dead head the geraniums and raid the fridge.
I hurry to the Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig whenever there is an available space. It is a paradisal artists’ retreat, there’s an enchanted house, a lake to swim in, woodland to walk in and Lavina’s cooking deserves a Michelin star. Thank you to Mary, Ingrid, Martina and all who make this place so special.
And thank you, as ever and always, to Naomi Narod, my best friend for 56 years. Her kindness to me has no limit. She even enthused when I read the entire manuscript out loud to her – twice.
