Similar Covers: Flower with Fish Hooks

Here are two more exact-match covers: There Is a Season: A Memoir by Patrick Lane and Sylvia and Ted by Emma Tennant. I think the image used on these covers is pretty weird; I have Sylvia and Ted and it is indeed a flower with a fish hook in each of its petals.

Edited to add:

Thanks to TinEye, I’ve found a third cover to go with this set, Amours en Marge by Yoko Ogawa, the French translation of Yohaku no ai, which was translated as Love in the Margin in English.

  1. That is a strange image, and to see it used twice is even weirder.

  3. Quite a disturbing image, in fact, a flower with fish hooks... Made me think what is it a metafor for in these covers. But yes, weird to see it used in such a similar fashion twice.

  9. I thought of it as a dogwood petal. What kind is it?
