THE ANGEL'S CUT
Elizabeth Knox - VUP - $35

The long-awaited sequel to The Vintner's Luck was launched at a splendid event at, (yes, you guessed it), Unity Books, Wellington, these guys must need a break after a long run of high-profile book launches over the past few weeks. My spies tell me there was a really fun family-feeling launch with a lot of sales.

The speakers were Anna Aplin, Fergus Barrowman, Nicky Caro - who has just finished directing the movie 'Vintners Luck' - and Elizabeth Knox, who read a small passage from her new novel. Publisher Fergus Barrowman entreated Elizabeth to write a follow-up and encouraged the audience to keep her at it too.
