First-pass galleys for
The Confessions of Frances Godwin came last week. I read them and my wife read them, and we found some embarrassing mistakes, but not too many, and not too embarrassing. The worst thing was that I misremembered several things about Verona. I had Frances sitting in Piazza Signori looking up at the Scaligere Tombs, which are not in fact in the piazza. Hard to sort it out even with my guidebooks.
But now the advanced reading copies have arrived. The cover is so lovely I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want to say something nice about this novel. Here's a photo.
(I could get these into a single photo but I couldn't figure out how to rotate it. Any suggestions? I imported it to iPhoto and rotated it, but when I posted it here, it was the wrong way.)
