Local launch for Hazel's new book

Fresh from the launch of local author Hazel Gaynor's second novel in the US, 'A Memory of Violets' will launch in the UK and Ireland next month, writes Brian Byrne.

The main Irish launch will be in Dubray Books on Grafton Street in Dublin on Thursday 5 March, from 6.30pm. A local launch will be held on Saturday 7 March at Barker & Jones, Poplar Square, Naas. The time is 2-4pm.

The story of her second book is based on the lives of the flower sellers in Victorian London.
