Review title: Canongate books ought to fire whoever titled this book
Product review: First of all, I love the story. That's not what I'm writing about.It's the title I hate.The title of this book in Dutch is "De Passievrucht". Passion fruit. Fruit of passion. Refers to the son. It's a mystery story.Calling it "A Father's Affair" takes away the mystery.You know, people who write for newspapers are familiar with this kind of gaff. The person who writes the story often doesn't chose the headline for their story. That's a business decision. I'm not going to blame the translator for this stupidity. It's more than likely some business exec in the marketing division of Canongate books.Fire him, Canongate. He's a liability to your company.
