The person I really want to thank is the great Pat Kavanagh, who died in 2008. I will always be grateful that she was my agent. It was Pat who led me to Helen Conford at Penguin, whose idea this book was, and who has been the most conscientious and insightful editor I could wish for; Helen disproves the adage that no one really edits books any more. Also at Penguin, among others, I’d like to thank Patrick Loughran, Penelope Vogler, Lisa Simmonds, and Jane Robertson.
Pat also brought me to my two superb agents, Sarah Ballard at United Agents in London and Zoe Pagnamenta at the Zoe Pagnamenta Literary Agency in New York; I am so thankful to them both; also to Lara Hughes-Young at United Agents.
I owe huge thanks, too, to Lara Heimert at Basic Books, for her patience, encouragement, and intelligent editorial judgment.
