Just a reminder for anyone who happens to be in or around Paris this week that I shall be launching the French edition of The Rift, La Fracture, at Millepages bookstore in Vincennes at 19:30 this coming Wednesday.
I shall be in conversation with Nathalie Crom of the French literary and cultural magazine Telerama, and the evening will also feature an interview with the writer Jakuta Alikavazovic, whose fourth novel Night as it Falls will be published in the UK by Faber next spring, thus making her work available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. I am so excited to meet her!
The event has been organised by my amazing French publishers Editions Tristram and I cannot thank them enough for their steadfast commitment to my work and for their faith in me. Huge thanks are also due to graphic designer Thierry Dubreil, for creating the beautiful cover art for La Fracture, and to my translator Bernard Sigaud, who is irreplaceable. It’s a genuine thrill to be bringing The Rift to French readers, and of course to be returning to Paris, the setting for my 2018 story ‘The Gift of Angels’. Hope to see you there!
