I'm delighted to be taking part in the cover reveal for And the Swans Began to Sing by Thora Karitas Arnadottir, which is being published by the lovely people at Wild Press Books.
But, as is the way here at The Hippo, I'm going to tell you about the book before showing you the stunning cover.
Blurb
The swans on the pond began to sing. It was a singing
so loud they were almost screaming, as if they were encouraging me to release
what I had kept inside for so long.
Gudbjorg Thorisdottir has been hiding from the ghost
of an ugly secret for most of her life. When she finally faces the truth of
what happened in her childhood, the ghost floats away. Painting an evocative
picture of life in Iceland, this is the story of a little girl who didn’t know
how unnatural it was to experience both heaven and hell in the same house.
I think this sounds like a really intriguing read and the cover is soooo atmospheric don't you think?
