Picador has acquired the memoir of writer and journalist Jean Hannah Edelstein.
Publishing director Francesca Main acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to This isn’t Really About You from Daisy Parente at Lutyens & Rubinstein, to publish in 2018.
It is Edelstein’s account of losing her father and discovering she carried the gene that caused his terminal cancer.
Main said: “Jean has a brilliant, deadpan wit that can make you laugh as she breaks your heart.”
