Chelsea asked Harriet Evans:

Harriet, Why did you decide to publish "A Place for Us" in parts? The book is only available in the digital version here in the U.S. Will it become clear to me when I start reading the book? You are my favorite author and it is torture seeing all the comments about reviews of the book when I still can't get my hands on it!

Harriet Evans Hah! I'm really sorry it's torture Chelsea but it's lovely to hear from you. I don't think you can get it yet in the US as the digital edition is UK only (maybe I'm wrong about this). It's out in the US in June. It was published in parts in the UK to try something different, really. It was my publisher's idea and I was all for it. It had 4 parts and each was quite distinct so they thought it'd be fun to do it that way and really ratchet up the suspense / create more interest around it. Hopefully that's worked! It's out in paperback next Thursday in the UK, so it's a bit like having a hardback first then a paperback. I hope you get to read it soon and thank you so much for writing. Also that when you read it, you think it's worth the wait ;) I am vv proud of it. happy new year. x
