ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
No reader should be expected to shell out for a book, in whatever format, if its author found the writing of that book too easy. I say that, of course, well aware that you might have been gifted this particular book or found it on a park bench. You might even have nicked it, in which case I hope you feel a little bit ashamed. There’s always the possibility that you’ve borrowed Rabbit Hole from your local library, which should always be encouraged, but however you acquired it, I think my point holds. Writing a book shouldn’t be a doddle and it rarely is, but this one, for all manner of reasons, was particularly . . . tricky.
I am more than usually grateful for all the help I received.
Thank you, as always, to my amazing agent, Sarah Lutyens, to Wendy Lee, and to Mike Gunn for letting me steal some stories.
Thank you to everyone on the team at Little, Brown/Sphere which, as I enter my third decade of publishing with them, remains the best in the business, and most particularly to: Charlie King, Catherine Burke, Robert Manser, Gemma Shelley, Callum Kenny, Thalia Proctor, Tom Webster, Sean Garrehy, Sarah Shrubb, Hannah Methuen and Tamsin Kitson. A tip of the hat once more to Nancy Webber for the copy edit. Saved my bacon again . . .
Thank you to my brilliant editor Ed Wood for making everything so much better, and to the best publicist in the game, Laura Sherlock (who is only ever FPN when she needs to be).
Thank you to Sara Vitale, Morgan Entrekin, Justine Batchelor, Deb Seager and all at Grove Atlantic.
I will forever be grateful to SL, a fiercely dedicated mental-health nurse in north London whose time and expertise were invaluable in the writing of this book. I really did forget my wallet. Honestly . . .
And to Claire, most of all – the only other person who understands exactly why this one was so tough.
