That Summer in Ischia book launch
Penny Feeny’s debut novel, That Summer in Ischia, will be published by the prestigious Tindal St Press on May 5th 2011. A story of dangerous love affairs, kidnap and a quest for identity, the novel has been called ‘sun-drenched, dark and intriguing’ (Kate Long) and ‘vivid and gripping’ (Barbara Trapido).
To celebrate the launch, all are invited to an event at Liverpool’s Parr St Studios, to hear Penny read from the novel and raise a glass to its success.

The Reader and Penny have some history: we first published her story 'At The End of the Line' in issue 15 of The Reader and subsequently included it in our A Little, Aloud anthology. We are delighted to witness Penny's ongoing success and wish her the best of luck with her first novel.

Penny ! Congratulations – this is great news and a very well deserved success! Good luck to the novel!
(I’ve used my month’s allowance of exclamation marks in this one comment but who cares !)
Thought I’d found the perfect summer read for the book club. Not really the kind of thing I’d expect from The Reader.
