Yes, they seem to retitle books in the US almost on principle. For instance,
they've done it with the Pullman trilogy. Any time I send a book to my
daughter in Maine, I have to check that she doesn't already have it under a
different title. Same thing applies when ordering my secret vice, detective
novels!
But well done Alison, whatever they call the book, and I totally admire your
stamina and dedication.
