The paperback is published today (Oct 22) in the US. It has the same wonderful cover as the hardback, but with a cut-back cover to show a quote from Time Magazine: “Unsettling and eerie, Bitter Orange is an ideal chiller”.
Although the novel is set in the blisteringly hot August of 1969, the novel has plenty of spooky, gothic elements for people looking for a book to cosy up with in a chilly fall.
It’s available today from all good independent bookstores, bookstore chains, and online. Click here to order.
In conjunction with my US publisher Tin House, I’m running a competition on Instagram to win one of two copies. You must have a US address to enter. Visit my account on Instagram: @writerclairefuller
Bitter Orange is an ideal book for book clubs, and this paperback edition has book club questions in the back to help get your discussion started.
If you do read it, don’t forget to drop me a line to let me know what you thought.
Happy reading!
Hi Clare
How are you? I overheard in the changing rooms on a spa day on Friday a lady talking about her long flight from somewhere – she said she read Bitter Orange the whole way as couldn’t put it down!!
Hope you’re well

Hello,
That’s wonderful to know – thank you! (I don’t recognise kpchill – can you remind me who you are?!)
Thanks,
Claire
Hi Claire,
I read your book last year and really enjoyed the story, one that made me stop and think about other peoples’ problems.
I hope your publisher in US gives it a good push, and readers enjoy the experience as mush as I have.
Thanks, James. I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Tin House will do me proud, I’m sure.

Hello Claire, I was in Lymington this week and someone told me you are going to be there next week, is that right?
Sorry for my late reply. The date was changed and I wanted to wait until the new one had been arranged. I’ll be in Lymington on 20th Feb. They’re going to start advertising it in January.
