Garden Party welcomes Bryony Rheam to Wales

 Parthian Books organised a garden party to welcome Zimbabwean writer Bryony Rheam and her two daughters Sian and Ellie to Wales. The event, which took place in the garden of the Parthian offices in Cardigan, was attended by Parthian Directors Richard Davies and Gillian Griffiths, Publishing Manager Carly Holmes, several Parthian writers and supporters, and the directors of amaBooks, Bryony's Zimbabwe publishers and the co-publishers in the UK of All Come to Dust, Jane Morris and Brian Jones. Bryony and her daughters are spending time in west Wales (Bryony's mother's birthplace) as part of a visit to the United Kingdom.

Bryony's two novels, This September Sun and All Come to Dust, have already been published in the UK by Parthian, and in Zimbabwe by amaBooks, and her debut short story collection is due for publication next year.
