Polish Version of A VERY PRIVATE GRAVE
By Donna Fletcher Crow ~ April 10, 2012
Just received the Polish translation of A VERY PRIVATE GRAVE. The only words I can read are my name on the front and Kate Charles on the back who gave a very generous endorsement. The cover art is an interesting translation of the picture of Fountains Abbey from the English language version with the addition of Lindisfarne Castle on top— a perfectly valid addition since Lindisfarne does feature in the novel.
Oh, and Corpus Delicti which is their name for their mystery serios— a great choice, I think.
Translation:
MURDER IN THE CLOISTER
In life you cannot rely
on blind faith alone
And Kate Charles’ blurb on the back cover:
"A wonderful treat for thriller lovers. An exciting criminal investigation, episodes of church history, and a turbulent love affair, all presented on a truly epic scale. Donna Fletcher Crow has created an interesting niche for herself in the church-crime genre, with a metaphysical atmosphere as the backdrop."
An enormous thank you to Erin Slattery for the translation! http://efslattery.com/

This is really cool, Donna! Like you, I can't understand a word of it, but it's really exciting to have your books translated and sold abroad. Well done.
