I just ran across this cover for Sarah Addison Allen's upcoming novel The Peach Keeper. I like it, particularly as I've been enjoying the lovely fresh peaches we've had this fall. It does bear a certain resemblance to Deanna Raybourn's recent Dark Road to Darjeeling cover and, as that cover was for that series, represents a departure from Allen's previous, more whimsical covers. In any event, I can't wait to read this one. Allen's books are literary soul food. The Peach Keeper is due out March 22nd.
I've been a bit scarce round these parts of late and I feel badly about it. But there is a good reason and I've been waiting until today to share it with you. Just so I could include one rather pertinent detail. It's a boy! Fortunately I'm at the point where I'm starting to feel better, so things should soon start resembling business as usual around here. I, for one, am relieved.
I showed this to my Mom she was so excited about it!
ReplyDeleteThat cover is lovely! I really should start reading Sarah Addison Allen soon.
ReplyDeleteYou'll notice that at Amazon, the bowl of peaches has sparkles added all over it. There's your whimsy.
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, I think you'd like her stuff as well. Glad your mom's all excited. I am, too!
ReplyDeleteChachic, you really should. I adore them.
Preeti, ahhh. There you go. Now updated with sparkly peaches! ;)
I will love any cover with sparkles on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous cover...except for the sparkles. I think its simplicity is beautiful enough without the sparkles.

Oohhh! Seeing a cover makes it feel like that much closer to being published! 5 months of anticipation coming up!
ReplyDeleteI love this author and am happy to hear she has another in the works. Is this one the sequel to GARDEN SPELLS? I couldn't find a synopsis anywhere...
ReplyDeleteI still have to read something of this author, but her covers are always gorgeous! This one is no exception, despite some differences!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Her writing is so magical.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I was just wondering the other day when she'd be putting out another novel! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks lovely! I just started reading SAA this year, and I love her stuff! So glad she's got another one coming out!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you think of the final cover?
