CKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I am grateful to all the team at Bitter Lemon for their help and dedication, especially François von Hurter and Laurence Colchester. Thanks are also due to Jane Havell for thoughtful work on the script and to Diana Birchall for her enthusiastic response, and to Claire Connolly, John Gardner, Deborah Howard, and Susanna Zinatu for generously answering queries. My main debts are to Derek Hughes, who read the work almost as often as I did and who gave me the benefit of his care and learning, and to Katherine Bright-Holmes, without whose kind and sensitive encouragement I would not easily have turned from editing to writing fiction.
