Wish it could come to America!<br /><br />Hi Sarah, welcome to the blog and thanks for commenting. I'd love to see The Wedding Shroud out in paperback here too.<br /><br />Melissa, that's great. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts!<br /><br />Audra and Julie, I agree completely. I remember seeing the endorsement on the cover and being impressed, as Le Guin doesn't endorse very many books.Sarah Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340312953393474963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-11378064116821966272011-08-19T17:06:57.859-05:002011-08-19T17:06:57.859-05:00Great story.

I'm glad to hear that there will be a sequel.<br /><br />I was thinking about Elisabeth Storrs last month when I noticed that there was an <a rel="nofollow">Etruscan exhibition</a> opening in Sydney.

Thank you for sharing this story with us. <br /><br />I've been wanting to get my hands on a copy of The Wedding Shroud ever since reading Sarah's review, so I was delighted by the news that it is now available in e-book format. In fact, I've already bought a copy for my Kindle :-)Melissa @ Confessions of an Avid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320886752332455903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-57528199514753657982011-08-18T11:48:57.487-05:002011-08-18T11:48:57.487-05:00I loved this guest post for so many reasons!

I do love it when the authors I love are as fabulous as their books, and I can only imagine how excited Ms Storrs must have been to get a blurb from Le Guin! Amazing! Kudos for your courage, Ms Storrs! I've added this book to my TBR as the era sounds marvelous!Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.com
