And now it's coming out in paperback! I'm so grateful to NewSouth Books who acquired it after Putnam/Penguin let it go out of print. It releases in April, and my hope is that Ludelphia goes out and makes many more new friends!
Here's the paperback cover:

ReplyDeleteStill have some grant money left over, so I'm adding this title to our lit circle collection.
DeleteIrene, I recently found this book at my local library and enjoyed it tremendously. Congrats on the paperback!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful new cover. The celebration sounds like a fair, Irene. That's terrific for your book, but also for those who are a special part of your story. I imagine you are really looking forward to this important day.
