The Pleasure Quartet (39 page)

All we want to do is thank every single one of our publishers worldwide, our individual editors, copy-editors and translators: you’ve turned our naked words into gold and made them better.

Without our literary agent Sarah Such who carried the flame all along, the journey wouldn’t have taken us so far and wide both geographically and into the minds and hearts of our almost two million readers. Thank you.

And, of course, an immense vote of thanks to all those wonderful readers who made the mountain so much easier to climb, deadline after deadline.

Finally, there is no way to express how much friends and family, who stood by to support us beyond and above the call of duty, made the task worthwhile.

Until we meet again . . .
