Prima Donna (62 page)

To Jenny, too, I am deeply indebted. Her featherlight but precision editing has really whipped this book into shape, and I am just so relieved the quest for a title didn’t lead to any
resignations!

The entire team at Pan is a dream to work with and so hugely supportive. I really couldn’t ask for more.

Amanda, my brilliant agent, who has as fabulous taste in Zara tops as she does in books. Thank you so much for the lunches and moral support.

Last but not least, my love and thanks go out to my parents and parents-in-law, who make countless trips to the park and do the numerous school runs in the cause of giving me precious writing
time. I love my children more than anything, but heavens they’re noisy!

Karen Swan lives in Sussex with her husband, three children, two dogs and her cat called Meltchet.
