Authors: Jacob Ross

Deep-felt gratitude to:

David Godwin, my agent, and Nick Pearson, my editor/publisher, for offering something more valuable than support – a belief in the work.

Bernadine Evaristo, without whose wonderful gesture of solidarity and friendship this book would have taken much longer to arrive.

Manisha Amin, Jackie Clarke and Raksha Thakor, for the quality of their insights.

Yvonne Malcolm and Anthony Grainger, for timely reminders of weather and plant and season. And Pauline Cohen, for the virtue of forbearance.
