  • A Finished Copy of The Light We Lost!

    I’m too excited to write that many words, so I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

  • A New Quote from Julie Cohen

    My wonderful UK publisher, HQ Stories, sent The Light We Lost to Julie Cohen, who had these lovely words to say about it:

    “An affecting and beautifully-written story about love and missed chances, and how global events can change the course of a single person’s life.” – Julie Cohen, author of Together

    Thank you so much, Julie! I’m so glad you enjoyed my story.

  • A Pre-Publication Tour

    Last week I went on an incredible five-cities-in-five-days pre-publication tour with four folks from Putnam and two other (awesome!) Putnam authors, Bianca Marais and Courtney Maum. We visited San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City. It was a whirlwind of wonderfulness. Here are some photos of our travels:

  • Il Giorno Che Aspettiamo video

    My Italian publisher, Casa Editrice Nord, asked me to make a video saying hello to the booksellers in Italy (where my book is called Il Giorno Che Aspettiamo). I pulled all the Italian I learned at Columbia to the front of my brain and did the best I could. (You can see it takes me a bit longer to process words in Italian than it does in English…) Here’s what I ended up with.

     

  • A Swedish Book Cover

    Here’s the Swedish cover of The Light We Lost from Albert Bonniers Forlag–except in Sweden the book’s title translates to The World Without You. And the tagline says (so I’m told): On life choices, passion, September 11 and finding the first really big love.

    I really love the gorgeous hand-lettered type face my name and the title are in on this one.

    I’m told that the tagline translates to: When the first love is the strongest. I think that’s such a perfect encapsulation of this story.

  • US Advanced Copies!

    In the excitement of receiving the early copies of The Light We Lost from Putnam last week, I forgot to post about it here! They truly rendered me speechless.

  • A New Blurb for The Light We Lost

    My UK publisher, HQ Stories, sent The Light We Lost to Sarah Morgan, the USA Today bestselling author of the From Manhattan With Love books, and she liked it! Here’s what she said: “Emotional and heartbreaking. I predict a global tissue shortage.” Thank you so much, Sarah! (I’ll start stockpiling tissues now.)
