I created the Spotify playlist for "Ghosts of the Burning City" as a soundtrack for the book. The first song, Nova Heart, by the Canadian band Spoons, brings me back to my youth. As catchy of a pop song as it is, its message always felt mysterious to me.

Sir, I can attest to the power of handwriting (letters, Dec 26, 28, 30 & 31). My husband of 62 years and four months died a year ago. He remained my beloved until the end but I found that I couldn’t remember him as he was in his prime, which was distressing. During the Christmas break I found and reread for the first time the hundreds of letters we wrote to each other during our engagement: we lived in different countries, there was no internet, telephone was expensive and the post was cheap. It is wonderful therapy and a great comfort. I can hear and almost see him as he was then and I find myself falling in love with him all over again. Aude Fitzsimons Girton, Cambridge
