For my father, Michael

While I have taken every care to produce a work that is historically correct, some inaccuracies will inevitably have occurred, and for these I beg the reader’s indulgence and trust that they do not detract from the reading experience. The discerning enthusiast will spot at once that the tram route number 36 taken by Bertha and Jemima from Acton to Park Lane does not, in fact, exist. And, sadly, Acton Bus Garage closed its doors in March 1925, some ten months prior to many of the events described in this novel. Acton is, of course, very much a real place, though the reader will not find Wells Lane nor Oakton Way on any map of the area. The reader will also face certain disappointment if they attempt to apply to study at Edinburgh’s Waverley University or to purchase goods from Messrs Gossup and Batch.

Thanks to Colette Vella, Kay Scarlett, Ali Lavau, Rhiannon Kellie, Tricia Dearborn, Louise Godley, Sheila Joel, Anne Benson, Liz Brigden and Sharon Mathews for your assistance, support, expertise and encouragement during the publication of this book.
