Читать книгу One Moment At Sunrise - Karen Aldous - Страница 7

From a few simple words on the internet, the obsession grew to tell the French-Pyrenean peasant women’s story and how they became involved in Pierre-Paul Riquet’s vision for the beauty that is now the Canal du Midi. For all her meticulous research, I heartily thank Chandra Mukerji for her academic work Impossible Engineering; a theoretically significant study which provided such insight and knowledge so as to allow me to spread further recognition for the peasant women’s genius and involvement in such a monumental project.

For Mike and George Slee, a special mention and thanks for kindly taking time out to read and offer expertise. I’m just sorry you didn’t get the whisky before having to suffer that first draft.

And of course, to my lovely editor, Charlotte Mursell, and the team at HQ Digital, HarperCollins – a huge, huge thanks for all your patience and support.
