The Italian rights of Emmi Itäranta’s sophomore novel The City of Woven Streets, which was recently published in the UK, have been acquired by Frassinelli! We are also glad to tell that Emmi visited Italy last weekend, as Memory of Water (published in Italian also by Frassinelli) was selected as one of the three winners of the 4th edition of Premio Salerno – Libro d’Europa. The award is dedicated to European writers under 40 years of age.
“We’re very happy and proud to be the Italian publishers of Emmi Itäranta second novel. it’s hard to imagine how this book could be better than her first one, Memory of Water, but it is.” — Giovanni Francesio, Responsabile editoriale, Edizioni Frassinelli
In the City of Woven Streets, human life has little value. Weaver Eliana is hiding a shameful birth defect – the ability to have dreams – that would, if exposed, land her in the House of the Tainted. After meeting a woman with her tongue cut off and Eliana’s name tattooed on her skin, Eliana discovers an invisible network of power behind the city’s facade. All the while an unknown disease is spreading, and the streets are slowly drowning.
