"I am forever indebted to:
My parents, whose faith is boundless and unfaltering; my baby brother, A., the best illustrator ever; my grandmother, Z., who is a rock.
MK, my traveling companion, diapers to dentures - whose tolerance of late-night phone calls was indispensable to the completion of this book, and whose wit and wisdom have reconnected me to my roots.
AZ, who is a force of nature in everything he touches. We’ve travelled so far, we two.
PS, for giving me the birthday present that set me back on the right path again, and whose love keeps lifting me higher."
That’s about 1/3 of the acknowledgements.
I then read No One Belongs Here More Than You, which I enjoyed. After I finished, I turned to the acknowledgements, which said:
"I’d like to thank each of the following people for their part in helping me make this book: FM, RM, NG, SC and MM."
That was it.

Well, what a relief to know I'm not the only one who couldn't get through the "The Tiger's Wife."
And yes, those gushing acknowledgments are just too much. Less is more.
It was almost as if the whole book were revealed in the acknowledgements.
