Thank you to the usual suspects who have cheered me along during the writing process (you know who you are), and to agents Judith Murdoch and Rebecca Winfield for their encouragement, coffee and cakes.
Special thanks to Caroline Kirkpatrick and Grace Menary-Winefield for their superb editorial attention; to copy editor Robin Seavill; to the publicity and production staff at Piatkus; and to cover illustrator Helen Chapman for her evocative images of Kate Shackleton's world.
