Thought provoking to compare the covers. However, without having read the books, it would be impossible for me to tell which covers were more effective in representing the books’ contents.

I’m working through a cover design at the moment. I fell in love with a particular photo and built a cover design around it. The result would have been a beautiful cover for a fantasy novel. With a sigh I started over. The book is literary fiction not fantasy.

Thanks for the visual treat. :o)

I tend to usually prefer the U.S. covers as well, but there are definitely exceptions.
