      Dedication

      For my three wonderful children who are the air I breathe and the heartbeat of my life.

      And for my wonderful agent, Judith Murdoch, who saw something in me I didn’t see in myself – thank you.

      And finally for Keshini Naidoo, who was my editor before she stopped being my editor, but best of all, she then became my friend.
