I am thrilled with the jacket for the Italian translation of The Lantern, to be published in July by Piemme. It's a beautiful piece of artwork that captures the haunting romanticism of the book. There's a change of title too, to The House of Wind and Shadow, which is quite intriguing.
As soon as I saw the design it reminded me of Lynne Ciacco's work, especially City Lupins, pictured below.
I wrote a couple of blog posts last year about Lynne and her work, which I admire greatly for the sheer variety of experimental styles and the atmosphere and thoughtful playfulness she achieves. You can link to them here:

I love the dress the woman on the cover is wearing, it's a beautiful cover - they all are!
lovely cover very evocative, I almost prefer this to the original cover! congratulations, how many languages now?
This is a beautiful cover. I like how the different countries have a different visual interpretation of your book and that every cover is different. It's very interesting.
Great cover! Deborah, it looks like you are conquering the world!
Dropping in from Louciao. Your work is lovely, as is hers.
That's amazing that it's going to be in Italian now too!! Congratulations to you Deborah :)
Hi there, thanks for stopping by my blog! I've also loved looking at all the different interpretations of each country with regard to your covers. I discovered the Literary blog hop a few months ago and have found the questions asked very thought provoking, so I definitely hope to see you hopping through as well. :)
I love the Italian cover, Deborah. I'm so pleased The Lantern is becoming an international hit.
This is great! I love seeing how different nations/cultures interpret different books :-)
