Compelling, with unexpected revelations and insights into this dark chapter in European history and a thrilling climax, this book not only reads like a wartime adventure story, but asks the eternal question, what makes men turn to evil. An electrifying read. No. 1731 Hare With Amber Eyes, Theby Edmund De Waal Read by Diana Toeman (1 Cd) Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection of 264 Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them bigger than a matchbox, belonging to his great-uncle. When he later inherited them, they unlocked a story far larger and more dramatic than he could ever have imagined. From a flourishing empire in Odessa to fin de siécle Paris, from occupied Vienna to Tokyo, Edmund de Waal traces the carvings' journey through generations to his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. Part treasure hunt, part family saga, de Waal's richly original book combines all the charm of a personal memoir with the resonance of world history.

Heligolandby Sheena Mackay Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) The Nantilus, a strange building shaped like a seashell, was built in South London in the early 1930s. The shell's chambers consist of a lavish bar, magnificent library and printing press long since fallen into disuse and the usual facilities. Designed on modernist utopian principles, it was a haven for a community of cosmopolitan refugees, intellectuals and artists. Now at the end of the century, only two of the original inhabitants still occupy their chambers- Celeste Zylberstein, joint architect with her late husband (Arkady), and Francis Campion, an elderly poet. Gus Crabb, a dealer in bric- a-brac, is the only other resident until the arrival of Rowena Snow in answer to an advertisement for a housekeeper. Rowena Snow is of Indian Scottish parentage, orphaned, without family or friends and is in search of her own utopia or the Heligoland of her childhood imagination. This is a world of people who listen to Radio 4 last thing at night and drift off to sleep to 'Sailing Boy'. The Heligoland of the title is an island off the German coast that used to be mentioned in the shipping forecast but is now omitted; and which Rowena's childish-self fantasises about as a promised land of happiness. Shena Mackay's writing is superb and wonderfully descriptive of vulnerable people living in a muddle and muddling through. No. 1440 Her Brilliant Career by Rachel Cooke Read by Anita Boston
