Steal You Away (49 page)

I’d like to thank Hugh and Drusilla Fraser, who gave me the tranquillity to finish the book. And I’d like to thank Orsola De Castro for standing by me and Graziano Biglia. And I’d like to thank the wonderful Roberta Melli, and Esa de Simone and Luisa Brancaccio and Carlo Guglielmi and Jaime D’Alessandro and Aldo Nove and Emanuele and Martina Trevi, Alessandra Orsi and Maurizio and Rosella Antonini and Paolo Repetti and Severino Cesari. I’d like to thank Renata Colorni and Antonio Franchini and the whole Editoria Letteraria Mondadori team for their help (Daniela, Elisabetta, Helena, Lucia, Luigi, Silvana, Mara, Cesare, Geremia, Joy). And finally I’d like to thank my whole family (including the Grancereale Gang) for being such a great support. Thank you again.
