It was a thrill to see a Lithuanian version of Silent Hearts (Tylios Sirdys, published by Leidykla Sofoklis), which also has been published in Italian (La Moglie dello Straniero; Casa Editrice Nord) – and even more of one to see it included on a list of recommended summer reads.
Given Lithuania’s location on the Baltic Sea, I suppose this officially makes it a beach read, something I’ve always wanted for one of my books.
Better yet, it’s in some pretty amazing company – Barack Obama and Stephen King, just to name-drop, because when is this ever going to happen again?
“A nuanced and heartwarming story,” says the description, at least according to Google translate. I’ll take it.
