ISLAND
Penelope Todd
Penguin

Claire Beynon was one of an enthusiastic throng of writers and readers who gathered recently at Dunedin's UBS to celebrate the launch of Penelope Todd's fine new novel, Island.
Emma Neale introduced the book and afterwards gave Claire permission to post her speech on her blog (it's under the heading 'Breath-taking coastline' and can be read here - http://icelines.blogspot.com/2010/04/breath-taking-coastline.html )
