ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Top of the list, my agent, Juliet Mushens, for her wisdom and support, and Jenny Parrott, my editor at Oneworld, for her brilliant suggestions – and faith! Thanks are also owing to the entire team at Oneworld, including Harriet Wade, Laura McFarlane, Paul Nash, Thanhmai Bui-Van and Margot Weale.

My dear friend, Ursula Owen, herself a refugee from Nazi Germany, shared the story of her cousin, Marianne Grunfeld, who moved to Guernsey from London just before the Nazi occupation but was betrayed and deported to her death in 1942. This story was one of the sources of inspiration for my novel, though the story I told departs from the true and tragic history of Marianne. I hope she will forgive me, but I wanted also to tell another story of war, and another story of women and war.

I picked the brains of so many friends and colleagues and am grateful to them all – though each and every error is my responsibility. Bob Armstrong, the best butcher in south-west London, for his insights into slaughtering and slaughtermen; my nephew Luis Chamberlain (lightweight boxing champion, Scottish Universities 2005, British Universities and Hospitals 2005; gold medallist, boxing, British Universities Sports Association 2006–7; and a boxing half-blue at Edinburgh University) knocked me into shape; Professor Elizabeth Harvey for her references on forced labour and women; my very old friend Sylvia Kieling and her husband, Hans-Joachim, for correcting my German and sharing with me stories of growing up in postwar Germany; Emily le Feuvre from the Jersey Archives; Dr Laura Marshall Andrews, a truly extraordinary and innovative GP, for medical advice; Professor Caroline Sturdy Colls for her generous sharing of articles and chapters on the OT and SS camps on the Channel Islands; and Professor Paul Weindling for all his help on medical refugees in the 1930s and 1940s.
