She is in print here - I see her books, new and used, all the time. The Bookshop and The Blue Flower, especially. The American edition of the biography will be published in November and I believe new editions of most of her fiction will be out in October.Book Gluttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569975755798562829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448581132479481740.post-68423950778050377862014-09-26T13:25:52.093-04:002014-09-26T13:25:52.093-04:00Nick,

Her books are readily available over here, far as I know.

So frustrating, but I do appreciate the review, regardless.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.com
