I guess the first question is, when and how did you first come across this book? When did you read it for the first time?

That's actually a really good question.

Because to be honest, I hadn't read the whole book before I decided to acquire the Finnish rights or the Finnish market.

Because there was only the Italian texts and Even though I can understand a little bit of Italian, I'm not fluent enough to read a whole novel.

So I think I heard about it first in the Book Fair of Turin in 2024.

And that's when it really drew my attention because it had been the best-selling book of all of Italy in 23 when it was first published there.

And so I sent it to a reader and asked her to read it and write me a short synopsis and her thoughts and ideas about the book and how it would fit into the Finnish market.

Are you seeing any kinds of shifts towards people reading more books in English? Or is that something that you guys are seeing
