The Exeter University launch of Deeper than Indigo was held in the internationally renowned Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, where Jenny is an Honorary Research Fellow. Her talk, introduced by Middle Eastern historian Dr James Onley, was delivered to a packed lecture hall and followed by a lively reception in the ‘Street’ gallery space, spilling over onto the terrace outside. Guests included Professors Emeritus Tim Niblock and Richard Hitchcock, and Paul Auchterlonie (who first alerted Jenny to Machell’s journals) from the Institute and, from the English department, Professor Regenia Gagnier, Dr Andy Brown and Dr Corinna Wagner. The festive atmosphere was enhanced by live music played by Peter Adcock. (Photos by Alison Edwards)
