Two beautiful covers: Sisters of the Midnight Sun
I’m delighted to share with you not just one but TWO beautiful covers for my latest novel, Sisters of the Midnight Sun.
Here’s the cover for readers in the UK and Canada…
And here’s the cover for readers in the USA…
This book is set across the wild and dramatic landscapes of Shetland and Norway, places where powerful links were forged during the Second World War and which still enjoy a very close relationship today.
It’s due for publication on 15th September in the USA and on 24th September in the UK and Commonwealth countries around the world. I’ll send you another email on the day, but if you’d like to pre-order your copy you can do so by asking for it at your local bookstore, or following the links below.

Two women, decades apart, are torn apart by grief but brought together through hope.
Shetland, 2001: Ruby Reid is running from a decision she doesn’t want to make. Finding herself on a remote croft caring for a mysterious old woman she discovers that Hanna has her own reasons for hiding from the world. And slowly, she reveals her story to Ruby…
Norway, 1940: Hanna Kristiansen’s world is overturned when Norway falls into the hands of Germany. She’s determined to keep her twin sister, Liv, safe but as Hanna fights for her country, she must make unthinkable personal sacrifices. The war may take everything from her, but ensuring the freedom of her people demands it.
Decades later, Hanna is still haunted by the scars of war that mark her arm. The numbers that will forever signify where one life ended and another began.
But as the two women bond through their shared loss, they learn to find strength in fragility and discover a new hope in the most unlikely of places.
An emotional story of love, loss, hope and family.

Cannnot wait!
Why is there no link to Canada but there is the the US? The US is not even a commonwealth country yet they get their own link?
Hello Annie, Thank you for raising this. In the past we have only included links for the two biggest markets sales-wise. But it’s lovely to know you feel so strongly about my books and would like the extra links added. I take your point and we will include more links in the future, for Canada and Australia as well.
Best wishes,
Fiona
Hi again Annie, I just wanted to let you know that we’ve now added the link to pre-order the book on Amazon Canada. Thanks for pointing out the omission!
Best wishes,
Fiona
I’m an American. I like the Canadian cover a lot better. I truly don’t want to be disrespectful, but why use such a generic, dated looking cover for the US? It truly looks like a gillion others. I just think your work is more deserving.
Hi Sherry,
Thanks for getting in touch and for your feedback. Each of the covers was designed by the publisher in-country, so I will pass on your comments to Ballantine in the USA. I really appreciate your kind words about my work and I hope you will still enjoy this latest book, even if you prefer the UK / Canadian cover.
With best wishes,
Fiona
Hi Fiona – strangely enough (!) I prefer the US cover, even though I’m in the UK – just my perception of the midnight sun. The story sound thrilling and I can’t wait to read it. Order placed upon Bookshop.org. Hope this finds you well. All good here – off on tour with Sue soon (English South Midlands, and taking in Bletchley Park, which is another one off the bucket list, as will Wimbledon be, in July). VBW from here, Rob x
