These covers remind me of the second series of covers I featured in this “trio of similar covers” post. I can’t say I really like any of them (maybe because this is such a vulnerable-looking pose?). What do you think?
Edited to add:
I’ve found a third cover that features the same image, which I’ve inserted above: Mapping the Edge by Sarah Dunant. Again according to Amazon, Mapping the Edge was published by Virago in the UK in 2004.

I'm surprised when I see exact matches like that too!
ReplyDeleteWhen I see someone's back turned towards me I immediately think shame...especially when they are hanging their heads like that.
ReplyDeleteExcellent detective work!!! I don't really like this cover for some reason...?
ReplyDeleteWow, those are way too similar. I wonder why they do that?

I thought exactly what you said before you said it: "Finally, a cover I actually recognize!"
ReplyDeleteI'm not struck by lightening. It's just a cover. She's also doing a mundane task. Maybe that's why the cover seems dull.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen either of those covers, though I've read both books.
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about either one; something artless about that picture. Artless and kind of unappealing, the way she's bent over a little. Weird!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the second one better. I'm surprised that a book by a famous author, and an Oprah pick would have the same cover. I'd think that they'd be a little more careful.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I just thought she was zipping up her dress and her head was bent forward to keep her hair away from the zipper. I've always had long hair so I can understand that. I was only surprised to see that she's not wearing any underwear!
ReplyDeleteWhich is probably the real point of the shot. Good catch.
