Saraband, the wonderful publishers of Shocked Earth, by Dutch author Saskia Goldschmidt, have featured my translation of the novel throughout the month of August.

August is, of course, Women in Translation Month and my translation joins a distinguished group of books featured by many other publishers.

Saraband have been tweeting and posting about Shocked Earth all month and have developed a really useful Book Group Guide, downloadable from the website.

Their August newsletter also features my short essay ‘From the Ground Up’, my reflections on creating authenticity in this translation.

Do take a look at the Saraband website to find out more about the novel, download the Book Guide, and read some of my thoughts on translating it.
