It was at our library reading group that I bumped into my senior school French teacher and I think it was her influence that prompted a display of books set in France otherwise I would have missed them. I am a fan of Fred Vargas too and I think the French countryside is a perfect setting for these novels featuring Bruno. I think it would make an excellent tv series too, even in French- the new series of Spiral is on BBC TV over here in the UK, subtitled and popular. Looking forward to book 3!

'The caves of Périgord' is out of print. Any idea of how to get hold of a copy? Best regards. Just got ‘The Dark Vineyard’, great stuff, especially since ‘Le Périgord’ is my favourite holiday region.

The Bruno novels are now being published in Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, all naturally in English. They are also being published in German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (for Brazil), Finnish and Japanese. The German edition has been a best seller in Germany, Austria and Switzerland throughout the summer and some 60,000 copes have been sold in German and the wonderful German publishers, Diogenes, are now doing a fourth reprint. We just welcomed here in Bruno-land Astrid Kahmke, of Bavarian Film and TV, who have bought the rights to produce Bruno for TV, and we have some pleasnt days together looking for locations. Astrid is pretty sure she has found the perfect place to be Bruno's house and another to be Pamela's place. She also spent time with Yane Lahaye of the Aquitaine film Commission and Thierry Bordes, of Cine Passion in Perigord who are seeking eays to cooperate with the Bruno film project. We also just welcomed in Bruno-land Bastian Schweitzer, the Swiss photographer and film-maker, who took hundreds of photos of Bruno's author and Bruno country for Diogenes and for future editions. Among them was a photographer of one of the local municipal policeman who inspired the Bruno character and me as the author.

Appreciated the snapshots of WWII era history and the contemporary challenges of Europe really on what it is to be French, or Danish, or German etc. As you know from your non-fiction on demographic trends, these issues of identity in Europe are going to only become more pronounced. Was very sorry to miss the launch in DC. Best, Geoff Martin,
