Finally, to my favourite bunch of weirdos – Christian, Oscar, Eloise and Clementine. Life has its challenges, but there’s one thing I know for sure: weirdos will one day take their rightful place on the throne. Bide your time and when the opportunity presents, don’t hesitate. While you’re waiting, go read a book.
Author’s note
In this novel, you’ll meet a character by the name of Heather Wisher. Heather Wisher is, in fact, the name of a real person – specifically, the winner of my Instagram competition to have a book character named after yourself. I want to be clear that while I used Heather’s name, the character of Heather Wisher as created in The Younger Wife is entirely fictional and not representative of her real-life namesake. （Unless there are any flattering comparisons that Heather would like to draw, in which case, she definitely inspired those parts.）
