Congratulations to Cath Crowley who launched her new book on Saturday! Booked Out director Lauris Pandolfini attended the celebration and has reported back with this amazing picture on the right.

Yes, your eyes do not deceive you – this is a cake!

Cath’s new book is set in a second-hand book shop, where mysteries abound and where readers write letters to strangers, to lovers, to poets. It is a love story, following two young characters, Henry Jones and Rachel Sweetie.

Australian Bookseller and Publisher has praised Words in Deep Blue in advance of it’s release:

Cath Crowley has created a sweeping story about self-discovery and growing up, filled with complicated and flawed characters … this is a love letter to books and bookshops, to the ocean, to falling in love and finding your way.

Words in Deep Blue is published by Pan Macmillan Australia.
