Acknowledgements

I am deeply grateful for all the help that I have received in the writing of this book, from my two editors the two Rachels: Rachel Petty and Rachel Kellehar, whose joint infinite capacity for taking pains must approach genius level; from my agent Peter Buckman of Ampersand Agency Ltd, whose prompt, astringent and witty emails always make my day, and also from all those authors, such as P. G. Wodehouse, the Mitford sisters and Evelyn Waugh, who lived through the 1920s and wrote about those years with a verve and wit that keeps their books on the bestseller lists.

DEBUTANTES
