The Black Snow, which will be published in France as La neige noir on 20 August, has been nominated for the 2015 prix du Roman Fnac, a major French literary prize.
The prix du Roman FNAC is open to French and international novelists and is a selection of 30 books out of 589 novels published over the course of just a couple of weeks as part of France’s ‘rentrée littéraire’.
In an advance review of La neige noir in France’s Livres Hebdo, critic Alexandre Fillon says: “Red Sky in Morning already showed the vast talent of Paul Lynch. The Donegal native illustrates again with a second opus equally successful… a novel that grabs you from the start”.
