PUBLICATION DAY MAY 9 2023!
Translator's Name on the Cover!
The Unbreakable Heart is out May 9! This is the first time I have had my name on the cover of a book I have translated. There is also a Translator's note inside. It is particularly special for me as my heart was broken many times translating it and yours will be too when you read it. This novel should be required reading at school as it deals with the all-important issue of consent. What it means and how to navigate it. Let me know what you think on Twitter @bot_cla or in an email.

An excerpt from nives on literary hub
Hello
meet the translator: on translating naspini
On the blog Where Today’s Meet the Translator post is a follow up to my blog post where I reviewed Oxygen by Sacha Naspini and translated by Clarissa Botsford. I thought I would take the opportunity to find out more about not only the translating process but also more about the translator herself Clarissa Botsford.
