A nice review of the French translation of The Year of Fog, L’annee, brouillard, (translated by Sophie Aslanides) in the Belgian journal Lalibre: “Avec sensibilité, Michelle Richmond interroge la fragilité de nos propres histoires et le rôle de la mémoire. Avec ce roman psychologique à suspense, Richmond offre une plongée au cœur du désir et des émotions avec une belle sensibilité.”

Two new reviews of the French translation of The Year of Fog in French journals: Femina “Une fillette disparaît sur la plage, un jour de brouillard… Le livre de l’Américaine Michelle Richmond explore avec une précision photographique le vide émotionnel qui s’ensuit.” Le Republicain Lorrain “Ce roman est le premier traduit en français de l’Américaine Michelle Richmond, dont l’écriture sans pathos, précise comme un scalpel, explore en profondeur les conséquences d’un fait divers comme il y en a tant.”
