3_Still_Me

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

H uge thanks to Nicole Baker Cooper and Noel Berk for their generosity and
wisdom in relating Central Park and the Upper East Side, and for giving me
such a clear window into these very specific worlds. Any deviation from the facts
are entirely my responsibility and there to serve the purposes of the plot.

Huge gratitude also to Vianela Rivas of the New York Public Library service for
taking the time to show me around Washington Heights Library. My fictional
library is not an exact replica, but its creation has certainly been informed by the
invaluable public service the real version and its staff provide. Long may it
continue.

Thank you, as ever, to my agent, Sheila Crowley, and my editor in the United
States, Pamela Dorman. Thank you to all the many talented people at Pamela
Dorman Books and the Penguin Publishing Group, particularly Jeramie Orton,
Louise Braverman, Brian Tart, Kate Stark, Lindsay Prevette, Lydia Hirt, Kathryn
Court, Kate Griggs, Brianna Linden, and beyond that, all the unsung heroes in
bookshops and the media escorts who help get us authors out there (sometimes
literally!).

Massive gratitude to everyone who works alongside Sheila at Curtis Brown for
your continued support, especially Claire Nozieres, Katie McGowan, Enrichetta
Frezzato, Mairi Friesen-Escandell, Abbie Greaves, Felicity Blunt, Martha Cooke,
Nick Marston, Raneet Ahuja, Alice Lutyens, and of course Jonny Geller. In the US,
thank you yet again to Bob Bookman.

Thank you for enduring friendship, professional advice, lunch, tea, and
inappropriate beverages to Cathy Runciman, Monica Lewinsky, Maddy Wickham,
Sarah Millican, Ol Parker, Polly Samson, David Gilmour, Damian Barr, Alex
Heminsley, Wendy Byrne, Sue Maddix, Thea Sharrock, Jess Ruston, Lisa Jewell,
Jenny Colgan, and all at Writersblock.

Closer to home, thank you to Jackie Tearne, Claire Roweth, Chris Luckley,
Drew Hazell, the staff at Bicycletta, and everyone who helps me do what I do.

Love and thanks to my parents—Jim Moyes and Lizzie Sanders—Guy, Bea, and
Clemmie, and most of all to Charles, Saskia, Harry, and Lockie, and BigDog
(whose inclusion in “family” will surprise nobody who knows her).

Final thanks to Jill Mansell and her daughter Lydia, whose generous donation
to the Authors for Grenfell appeal mean that Lydia is now immortalized as a gum-

chewing, cigarette-smoking vintage clothes store owner.
