The Rehearsal

Barnett, Amy Brown, Pip Adam, and Asha Scott-Morris. Your enthusiasm means a lot.
    Love and thanks to Felicity, Jonathan, and Sebastian: thank you for sharing your home and easing the fever.
    To Caroline Dawnay, Olivia Hunt, Jessica Craig, Lettie Ransley, and Zoe Ross, a heartfelt thank you for everything beyond New Zealand. Your acumen, your patience, and your many kindnesses continue to amaze me.
    To Reagan Arthur, and everyone at Little, Brown and Company, thank you for taking a chance on me. Thanks also to Marlena Bittner, Peggy Freudenthal, and Andrea Walker for all your energy and support.
    I also owe thanks to everyone at Granta Books (UK), in particular Philip Gwyn Jones, Sara Holloway, Pru Rowlandson, and Amber Dowell.
    Love and thanks to Mum, Dad, and Will.
    My biggest debt is to Johnny Fraser-Allen: thank you for believing.
