Daisy Dunn’s Book Launch

Every good book deserves a good book launch! (Remember this one last time?)

In The Shadow of Vesuvius

Last night I attended the launch of my sister’s latest book: In The Shadow of Vesuvius: A Life of Pliny.

The location was the beautiful Panter and Hall Gallery on Pall Mall.

The room was packed with publishers, literary agents, editors, journalists, writers, poets, actors, and, of course, her closest friends and family, all supporting her and her new book!
