Echoing Muriel Spark’s preface to Aiding and Abetting – her novel based on the mysterious life of Lord Lucan – I have no doubt that the reality of her time in Africa would ‘differ factually and in actual feeling from the story I have told’. What we know of her words, habits and attitudes to people and to life, I have ‘absorbed creatively’ from her own account of this time in her autobiography Curriculum Vitae , as well as the vast archival material at the National Library of Scotland, ‘metamorphosing’ all of this into the fiction that follows.
