Acknowledgements
This book was a long time in the making (and remaking) and I am grateful to Literature Wales for a writer’s bursary in 2009, which supported part of the work. My thanks to members of my family, particularly my aunts, my uncle and my cousins, who helped and supported me with warm and welcoming hospitality, contacts, suggestions, discussion and encouragement, even when we did not necessarily agree. Thank you also to Ghaith, Randa, and Jasr Al Kawkuby for help, hospitality and friendship, and to staff members at Zochrot for information and contacts.
Nemonie Craven helped shape an early draft of this book and I am grateful to her for her enthusiasm about the project. My thanks to friends who encouraged me, particularly to Wynn Thomas and Jem Poster, who saw early versions. My thanks also to Mick Felton for helping me fine-tune the final text. Most importantly, I am grateful to my dear friend Helgard Krause for a characteristically acerbic piece of criticism: without it, this book would not have been published.
