Oath, Theby Elie Wiesel Read by Richard Toeman (1 Cd) An immensely impressive piece of writing. The picture of a small village and its marvellously depicted cast of characters would recall Anatevka were it not for the ghostly fate of the pogrom that annihilates it. The tension with which this is built up to is masterly, with all the time the strange messianic figure of Moshe dominating the story's development.

A novel about a book, and about the people whose lives are intertwined down the centuries because of it. Geraldine Brooks has created a memorable and magical tale that dips briefly into the lives of a wide range of people who came into contact with the Sarajevo Haggadah, an illustrated book of Jewish prayer that was saved from the conflict in Bosnia as it had been saved so many times before. Now it is in the skilled hands of rare-book restorer Hanna Heath, and while the content of the book interests her, it is the hidden history which captures her imagination. To her the tiny clues - salt crystals, a hair and wine stains that she discovers in the pages and bindings are keys to unlocking its mysteries.
