The paperback is out now! Check out the bestseller stamp of approval. So much love to my amazing publishers at Longanesi. I fell in love with Milan and Rome on my book tour last year meeting the publishing team, the booksellers and bookbloggers! Thank you to everyone who has made this book a success, especially to all the readers who followed sisters Hana and Emi on their tragic journeys. πŸ™

Here it is again, the Italian book trailer for Figlie del Mare, available now in Italy from Longanesi:

Today is pub day for the Italian translation of White Chrysanthemum! I’m so excited to announce thatΒ Figlie del Mare is now available for Italian readers. My amazing publishers at Longanesi have produced this beautiful cover, which evokes loneliness and longing but also coveys delicate beauty.

The light inside the Torre del Mangia or ‘Tower of the Eater’ is a photographer’s dream.


Siena is filled with narrow alleyways, each one uniquely decorated. This one has what appears to be fishtail chandeliers lighting the way. Bellissimo! 


Looking out from the dark womb of the bell tower, wondering if I can once again take the scorching Italian heat #torredelmangia #siena
