Evanna Lynch Instagram – What’s up Instagram, hello!
Just hopping online to tell you that my book is now published in PORTUGUESE by the incredible @leya_portugal team 🦋 📚
Thank you so much to everyone who came to meet me at the Lisbon Book Fair last week, I was so touched by the depth and sensitivity of the Portuguese readers ♥️ I have to admit it was an exercise in surrender to even allow the text to be translated in a language I don’t know. I was extremely controlling about the English text as I am very calculating when it comes to putting words together. It’s scary not knowing if the exact tone and nuance of a moment was understood and translated. But having met the funny, thoughtful and sensitive people at LeYa I feel confident in surrendering this text to words beyond my comprehension, and am honoured they published it!l 🙏🏻
As for my book, people I meet lately who didn’t know me when I was writing often ask did I write it myself. The absolute cheek!! I hope people know that this book came from the very bottom of my heart and guts!! It was a nasty healing process. It was a prolonged furious howl from my wounded inner child! I don’t talk about it much anymore only because I feel very very moved on from the events of the book. One of its gifts. I am focused now on writing my next book, fiction, thank fuck. Don’t hold your breath for that one but yes, that’s where my mind is now. But Opposite of Butterfly Hunting remains one of those creations that, unusually, I’m still proud of 💙
Anyway, it’s out in Portuguese now! Read away! 📚
