This is my first translated volume to make it to the shelves, and I'm tickled at the existence of a book I wrote, that I can't read.
[French is actually one of the languages where I can get the gist of quite a few of the sentences, but not necessarily end up understanding what's going on.]
Anyway, thank you Justine for all the amazing work that has gone into this translation!
Super exciting news, I love reading my favourite books in translation so very glad I speak French !!
ReplyDeleteExcellent timing! I just shared it with a francophone reader looking for recommendations in a fantasy discussion group.
ReplyDeleteJust curious about the title as it is much more explicit than the English one. Did you give any directions or was it the proposal from the translator?
While we're on the same topic, I discovered that The Hero and The Crown by Robin McKinley is named "Casque de feu". I'm really scratching my head on this one.
