Yup. I read at Mrs. Dalloway's in Berkeley on Wednesday. I introduced the event and every letter read, and Mrs. D's enlisted an actress to read the letters themselves. It went well. Attendance was about 80, I guess. It was SRO.

Beautiful!
Thank you, Peter! Have you had your launch yet for the American paperback edition of “Decca”?

How wonderfully gratifying, Peter—and so close by Decca and Bob’s. The air must have felt electrified. I do wish I could have been there!
Love the tribute to your grandparents as your Lifeboat. I imagine there are a lot of grandparent lifeboats out there!
