ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book took a very long time to write. It truly takes a village; so many people have been helpful in the creation of this story.

Special thanks go out to Robin Steen, Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom, Nene Ormes, the Word Murderers, and my parents, Göran and Kerstin, for their unwavering support throughout the process. I would also like to thank my Swedish editors, Catharina Wrååk and Titti Persson; Agnes Broome for excellent line editing; my agent, Renée Zuckerbrot; and my editor at Vintage, Tim O’Connell. Finally, to Ann and Jeff Vandermeer: thank you for everything.
