La ragazza di Charlotte Street…

07 Jun 12 


… is what the Italian edition of Charlotte Street is called, and I’m just back from three days of events in Florence, Milan and Vicenza launching it. It was great fun, fuelled by pasta and red wine. And they even sent a London cab to pick me up from the railway station.

(Sitting in a London cab wasn’t unusual for me. But it looked very odd on the streets on Vicenza…)

I’m thrilled to say that the novel is now a bestseller – so thank you so, so, so much if you got a copy. It’s a new discipline for me, and your support means the world. My thanks, too, to everyone at Feltrinelli – and there’ll be more international editions of the book out soon, in Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain and the US.

It was really excellent to meet some Italian readers! The Italian version is here!

    I’ve just finished Charlotte Street – moments ago!
    I was compelled to stay up and finish it while at the same time wishing it wouldnt end.
    It has been, far and away, my favorite book among many books over a very long time.
    I bought it thinking that it would be a light read for a long holiday car ride- but I received so much more than I expected!
    Your characters are so incredibly well written, their conversations believable, smart and witty – sometimes grumpy and blunt – but still nice enough people that you find yourself wishing that you could be a part if their circle .
    And if you were – part of this lovely circle of people- well maybe you’d” make it happen” and become a better, more loving person, overcoming your own issues in the process!
    I’ve searched IMDB already… HOPING to find a film in the works – these lives on the pages beg to be be lives on the screen. I’ll continue to look for that. And , yes… I will have hope.
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this lovely, lovely funny book.x
