like to thank the following people for their hard work, fierce advocacy, and great support throughout the writing and publication of this novel: Sarah Burningham, Alison Callahan, Laurie Chittenden, Lisa Gallagher, Tavia Kowalchuk, Jonathan Lloyd, and Emma Parry. Thanks also are due to the many, many other people at Curtis Brown, Fletcher Parry, and HarperCollins who have worked on the book: I am grateful to everyone.

I want my family to know how very much they all inspire, move, and delight me. This is because of all of you, for all of you, and impossible without all of you.
