Thanks once again to the entire team at Viking/Penguin and to my agent, Caroline Hardman. I’ve loved writing this, my sixth novel, and you’ve all been fantastically supportive as you always are. I’m very lucky. Thanks to all the friendly and helpful people I met during my visit to Myanmar from whom I learnt so much about the past and about the troubles of the present too. I’m also extremely grateful to the book bloggers who continue to do so much to help authors – where would we be without you? And, finally, I’d like to say a very warm thank you to all my readers.
