First international editions of The House at the Edge of Night

This week, I heard the exciting news that The House at the Edge of Night is going to be published in Italian. This is also the twentieth language in which the book will be published, which seems fitting, since it's a particularly important one for me. When I began writing this book, it was set in Italy, it was in Italian that I did much of the research, and since writing it, Italy has also become my home. So I'm thrilled that, thanks to TEA Libri who will be publishing it over here, readers in my adoptive country will now be able to read the book too.

Meanwhile, there are a few international editions already out in the world. First was the Danish edition, Huset ved Nattens Ende, translated by Alis Friis Caspersen, which came out in August. Next the German edition, Die langen Tage von Castellamare (Long Days on Castellamare), translated by Marion Balkenhol. And then, at the beginning of October, this beauty, Dom Na Skraju Nocy, appeared in Poland, translated by Hanna Pasierska.

​Translators, like cover designers, don't always get a lot of credit or thanks, but I'm very grateful to these gifted women for bringing The House at the Edge of Night to the non-English speakers who are, after all, most of my readers. And I'm also quite impressed with how quickly they have managed to translate it! I'm always fascinated by how different a book looks in each language in which it is published. More creative international cover designs to come soon...
