Lily (joy1) | 189 comments The description says this is an English edition, but the description is apparently Portuguese:

I tried to find an edition with an English description, but didn't succeed just now. I thought I had seen one earlier??

The IMPAC description is here: http://www.impacdublinaward.ie/nomine...

Sue Branford, translator, didn't yield this book.

lethe | 16373 comments The book was combined at a time when we had problems with default descriptions overwriting the ones of combined books, so it's possible that it had an English description before.

I found a description on Amazon, added that.

What do you mean by the last sentence? Did Sue Branford translate it? Added Sue Branford as translator, Worldcat agrees.

Lily (joy1) | 189 comments Thanks, Lethe!

(Meaning of last sentence: When I couldn't find an English description from the author editions, I thought I'd try from the direction of the translator. I can never remember if translations should show up on translator's author pages -- so I just go look.)

lethe | 16373 comments Yes, I gathered what you meant later :)

The weather has turned hot here overnight, my brain was melting.
