Bohjalian's The Sandcastle Girls continued to dominate many regional
and national best-seller lists on the second week of its release in the
U.S., while the book's UK edition hit the shelves in Europe on Aug. 2.
In the Aug. 5 print edition of the New York Times (Book Review, p.
26), the novel is anchored at number 7 on the nation's preeminent
best-seller list.
The Sandcastle Girls was number 3 on its second week on the New
England Indie Bestseller List (for the week ended July 29). The list
is compiled based on reporting from the independent booksellers of
the New England Independent Booksellers Association and IndieBound.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported that the novel was
the fourth best-selling book in the nation's capital.
The novel, which has sold tens of thousands of copies nationwide
within the first two weeks of its release, also figured prominently
on best-seller lists of individual bookstores. It was number one,
for example, on Harvard Bookstore's July 30 best-seller list.
UK edition The UK edition of The Sandcastle Girls, released on Aug. 2,
was published by Simon and Schuster with a different front and back
cover (see photo). On the back cover, the following passage from
novel is highlighted: "How do a million and a half people die with
nobody knowing? You kill them in the middle of nowhere."
