The Survivors(111)

Thank you to my brother Michael Harper for Shifty the dog’s name and backstory, and as always to Mike Harper, Helen Harper, Ellie Harper, Susan Davenport, Ivy and Ava Harper for their support.

A big welcome to the two new arrivals who in no small way helped inform the character of baby Audrey: my son Ted Strachan and niece Isabel Harper.

And, as always, my love and gratitude to my husband Peter Strachan, our wonderful daughter Charlotte and beautiful baby Ted. I couldn’t do it without you.
