      This book is dedicated to my family – because otherwise I’d never hear the end of it

      Nadine: warm, kind and considerate. I am all of these things.

      Audrey: the greatest thrill of your life is probably the fact that I’m your brother.

      Ivan: meaningless words such as “brilliant”, “amazing” and “inspirational” have been used to describe me, but not nearly enough.

      If any of you thought that there’d be anything sincere or heartfelt in your dedications, allow me a moment to quietly laugh at you

      Because the heartfelt sincerity is reserved for my nana.

      Chic, this book is also dedicated to you, for all the love and support you’ve shown me over the years. I love you much more than any of your other grandchildren do, I swear.
