As Sweet as Honey (32 page)

At the eleventh hour, both Andrew Wille and Dennis Mathis provided comments and notes for which I will always be grateful.

Thank you to Emi Ikkanda, who asked good questions.

Thank you, Andrea Cavallaro.

Thank you to Elise Capron who enthusiastically and consistently sent e-mails and e-vitamins.

I am always deeply grateful for the presence of Ann Close and Sandy Dijkstra in my life.

Thank you to everyone at Knopf, including my exceptional copyeditor, Patrick Dillon; Caroline Zancan; and Chris Silas Neal.

My parents, Subashree and Shankar, Shreyas and Meena, and my extended family as always provide love.

Finally, I would not have finished this book without the generosity and love of Anashua Sinha and Shridar Ganesan. They believed in the work and gave me time, space, and compassion.
