Thanks to the Victorian Writer’s Centre for the invaluable feedback, Jane Howard for so generously editing for me and Kasia Dulinska for imparting a little violinist’s expertise. Thanks also to the many people who ploughed through early drafts, especially Kate Francis, Ally Craven and Squish Davis.
Most of all, thank you to Davis for your endless support, patience, edits and writer’s retreats.
Finally… my wonderful friends from the Con. Thanks to you, I will always remember which is the fourth movement of Haydn’s London Symphony.
