A Place for Us
Page 41
Thank you to Charlotte Crowe, whose friendship makes this world a far more familiar and expansive place. I am so lucky to know your rare heart and radiant mind, both of which have been boundless sources of courage and inspiration for me, in fiction and in life.
And lastly, thank you to my first and most trusted reader, my brother Ali-Moosa Mirza. I would be lost if it were not for your patience and insight all these years. For never failing me, for knowing this family even when I forgot, and for always reminding me, I thank you. And I love you.
