ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I cannot do proper justice to all the people who helped in the construction and creation of this book. Many have read and made incisive comments on the manuscript, through its variety of stages. My thanks especially to Philip Whelan, Janet Opie, Kathryn Toyne, and Fiona Donaldson for generously reading it on my terms, and enjoying all of its tricks, yet sensitively pointing out its weaknesses. Philip was the first to understand Lucy as a “cross-dressed heroine,” and to engage with the Shakespearean themes of twinship as well as the journey from “beautiful young man” to “dark lady of the sonnets.” Thank you! My eldest daughter, Samantha, has been an invaluable echo chamber, given Siân her fashion sense, and defended my observations, always believing in me. Daughter number two, Zephyrine, taught me all about the Sims on Max’s behalf: thank you, darling! My best and dearest English mother and friend, Dr. Joan Bridgeman, earns my heartfelt thanks for reading and commenting on the manuscript. Thanks for your wisdom and insight. I miss the pleasure of studying with you. Thanks, too, to the generous and canny Carolyn Burdet; to Liz Foster; and to Sheila Fraser Milne.

For just some of the multitude of details that make up the story, but which were outside my areas of knowledge: John Fisher’s excellent Web site, heart-transplant.co.uk, was a mainstay for me, as were John’s witty responses to my various (unusual!) questions for Lucy. You are an amazing person! Russell White, Phil Charter, and Brian Adam at the Museum of St. Albans for help regarding the painting at the White Hart Inn; the paramedics at Shepton Mallet Ambulance Station; Ducati Motor Bikes; Hampshire Primary Care Trust; the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; the British Heart Foundation; Somerset and Avon, and Wiltshire, Constabularies; Elaine and Steve Mancini at the Cricketers Inn in Longparish, Ross and Jane McBeath at the White Hart Hotel in St. Albans, and Suzi Vincent. Particular thanks to coroner David Billingham, in Cheltenham, and to John Harmshaw, solicitor advocate, a worthy spokesman for Henry Stafford. The enigmatic Calvin’s voice is supplied across the Atlantic by “Mr. Smith.” My profound thanks to you. To my husband’s aunt, Judy Hawes, in New Jersey, thank you for your early research and advice.
