The German edition is in...

I want to know what that strange beast in the corner is, but hey, it just makes life interesting...

One thing, my friendly German audience, though. One of the websites touting the book says something along the lines of," Alma Alexander brings back the nushu language that inspired Lisa See's 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' ". (emphasis mine)

Growl.

I wrote "Jin Shei", and it was published in English, a year before "Snow flower" came on the scene. I'm not bringing anything "back", thank you very much. I was there first.

Just thought I'd point that out.

At any rate, it's a handsome book, and I just thought I'd share that cover. And now I'm officially out of room for my foreign editions in the space originally allotted to them. A rethink on shelving matters is required...
