Are you related to Edith Somerville who lived at Drishane, Castletownshend and who wrote novels with her cousin Violet Martin? And how do you like living at Castletownshend? It must be a great change from West London. Beautiful, of course, when the sun shines. I look forward to your next novel. I am enjoying The End of Sleep.

I just found out you were on the shortlist for the Europe/South Asia Best First Book section of the Commonwealth Writers Prize. Good luck. Well, not to worry about the radiator prize, eh?

The award is in association with the Irish Writers' Centre. I hadn't heard of the prize myself, but a link came in from <a href="http://emergingwriter.blogspot.com/2008/10/glen-dimplex-shortlist.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, linking to this review. So off I went to investigate... It is indeed the makers of radiators. The award is in association with the Irish Writers’ Centre.

Oh well, if the owners of Iceland (the Katona-tinged shop, not the bankrupt nation) can get their name on a literary prize, why not? …Is that the people who make radiators?

The US cover does indeed have a sheep on it and I thought the same thing "lamb in the desert...the end of sheep?" . Still, the illustrator suggested that it was a comment to the kebab element of the plot...well ...erm ...at least it made me smile . I find it fascinating the different takes on covers. Hope you enjoy it Beth and thanks for the incisive comments Stewart. Rowan Hi Stewart & Beth

thought I’d comment on this since I’m reading it (when I should be writing the next one). The US cover does indeed have a sheep on it and I thought the same thing “lamb in the desert…the end of sheep?” . Still, the illustrator suggested that it was a comment to the kebab element of the plot…well …erm …at least it made me smile . I find it fascinating the different takes on covers.

Hope you enjoy it Beth and thanks for the incisive comments Stewart.
