Acknowledgments
Firstly, I want to thank my editor, Charlotte Ledger. Her enthusiasm for this book brought such a positive energy to the process and she has been a dream to work with. To the entire team at One More Chapter and Harper Collins UK, my continued appreciation for your passion and expertise in making this book a thing of beauty.
Thanks also to Gillian Green, who encouraged the early chapters of this book and to Sophie Hannah for her heartening feedback and coaching.
My deepest gratitude to my family, especially my parents whose love and generosity have been constant and unwavering. And to my sister, who as luck would have it is also a writer, for her inspiring thesis and endless belief in this book.
Finally to you, dear reader, I'm grateful for your belief, for stepping into the world of The Lost Bookshop and letting it come to life in your heart.
