The Bellwether Revivals (52 page)

Thank you to my girlfriend, Stephanie, for her love, belief, and stabilising presence (Opi did us proud). Thanks to my family for their great encouragement along the way: Alex and Nick—my brothers and kindred spirits—Ali, Dad, my grandparents, Uncle Harry and other absent friends.

Most of all, thank you to my mother, Lynn, who has read every draft and incarnation of this novel, and without whose love, resilience, faith, support, and wisdom I could never have written a word.
