Since November 2009Cover Wars: Coming Home by Patricia Scanlan
August 11th, 2010 by Leah
I was browsing on Amazon and saw that Transworld had changed the cover for the paperback version of Patricia Scanlan’s Christmas-sy novel Coming Home. The paperback version (right) is out on 25th November and I much prefer it to the hardback version (left)! Which do you prefer?
Two sisters…two very different lives. Alison’s American dream is in tatters. Her highflying career is on the skids in the financial meltdown. Her Upper East Side apartment is now way beyond her means . But pride prevents her from telling her family back home just how bad things are. Olivia is fraught trying to juggle family, career, preparations for Christmas and organize a surprise party for their mother’s seventieth birthday. How she envies, and sometimes resents, her sister Alison and her life of excitement and affluence in New York. Coming home is the last thing Alison wants to do, especially now that she’s met a rather attractive, sexy, down to earth neighbour who doesn’t believe in ‘non exclusive dating’ unlike her wealthy boyfriend, Jonathan. But family ties are strong. Alison and Olivia sort their differences, the party throws up a few surprises and Christmas brings changes for Alison that she could never have imagined before coming home.

Def much prefer the cover on the paperback version. It does put you in a Christmas frame of mind. I might have to buy it even thought I’ve already read the hardback version
To be honest the first looks like a very “American/US” cover and I’m not all that drawn in by it. I’d definitely pick up the paperback first!
I much perfere the paper back version.
