BOOK Cover: Comfort Food
Kate Jacobs - author of The Friday Night Knitting Club - has a new book coming out in May (June in the UK). Okay, so we already told you this, but the UK book cover has been released and I thought it was worth commenting on.
The US version is arresting, individual, and, dare-I-say-it, literary-looking (if a little dark). Carry on over the cut for the UK version.
Well. Yet another beheaded woman. Are UK publishers so frightened of women that they only dare show bits of them?
And she's carrying a bag. Because women love bags, of course. Sometimes the world makes me sigh very deeply.

Well, I'll admit I do love bags, or not bags necessarily but purses. Regardless, I like the US cover much better.

And it's a very cute bag - but what kind of woman wears a classy dress and stilettos in the kitchen? Not me, obviously - I wear 4" heels for no man - or household appliance. Gotta vote for the US cover this time.

I like the US version so much more, although sometimes the UK books get the good covers!
