They were at the river bank now and the Ure flowed and rippled past them over its rock-strewn bed, its surface glittering in shades of green shot through with grey and silver.

‘No,’ she said, knowing that it had been her inability to become a Berliner that had led her into the deeply satisfying life she shared with Adam. ‘I was never a Berliner. Not even for a moment. I’ve always been a Yorkshire girl. I’m a Yorkshire girl through and through.’

Their eyes held, their smiles deep, and then, in mutual accord, they joined hands, just as they had been in the habit of doing when they were children, and together began to walk back up the long grassy slope to the terrace where, in just a little while, their much-loved Yorkshire and Berlin family would be gathering for the celebration of a lifetime.

Acknowledgements

My thanks to my editor, Claire Bord, to whom I owe an awful lot—not least the book’s title. Clare Parkinson was a wonderful copy-editor and a job that can often be tedious was enlivened by much laughter. Thanks are also due to my agent at A P Watt, Sheila Crowley, and also to Linda Shaughnessy. I would also to acknowledge my indebtedness to the stories told me as a child by my grandmother, great-aunts and great-uncle, who survived the difficulties of being a half-British and half-German family throughout two world wars.
