I did tell Celia it was wrong before publication, and she told me she would put something in the front of the book saying it had all happened ‘to the best of her memory. In the end, though, she didn’t and she even thanks me for my ‘continuing friendship’ in the first pages even though she hadn’t seen me for eight years”
