The translations of the novel have evoked interest in Egypt, France, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia; the book is to be released in several other countries as well. She Who Remains is to be adapted for the screen in a Bulgaria-Italy-Romania-Albania co-production, directed by Kostadin Bonev.
