    Thanks for listing the alternate titles (North American VS British). When I was young and foolish I never thought to check that out and was quite unhappy when I bought a book I’d read before. Why does a publisher do this? Seems almost all of Sophie Hannah’s books have two titles.

      No problem! Yeah there can be a variety of reasons as to why they do alternate titles. Then you also have authors who republish the same books – but just under a different title. Can be hard to keep track at times 🙂
