Straight Talkby Sally Berkovic Read by Anita Boston (1 Cd) Sally Berkovic writes a mix of history and autobiography. The book begins as a letter to her daughters, explaining where she comes from as the daughter of Holocaust survivors raised in Australia, with a less than ideally submissive and unquestioning outlook. She veers off into an interesting analysis of the problems for modern women with traditional practice, being shut out of certain rituals and leadership positions, the conflict between what's needed to have a career in the modern world and what is expected of women within the religious world. The problems she recognizes are real, she outlines unrevolutionary steps that can be taken to show young women a world which doesn't just confine them but embraces and supports them, such as women's prayer groups, rituals for daughters' births and bat mitzvahs, Jewish education in day schools and Hebrew schools. This is not a heavy tome but a very enjoyable, and at times laugh-out-loud quick read.
Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) An introduction to the story of the fascinating relationship between Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger. Daniel Maier-Katin integrates personal lives, philosophical thinking, and history in this book. When Arendt met Heidegger, she was an impressionable, naïve young woman of 18 listening to the famous philosopher, age 35, lecture on Plato's "Sophist." Heidegger and Arendt became romantically involved almost immediately.In this book they are both very well described as persons and thinkers in their time, together and apart, with their respective works and thoughts. Maier-Katkin's book combines the personal and the philosophical, without allowing either to become the dominant story. This is a highly readable account and definitely a book for those interested in philosophy and not for the faint hearted.

Read by Roberta Lewis (1 Cd) Three generations of Patricia Volk's family have been in the restaurant business - she tells the story of Morgan's the famous restaurant in the garment district of New York which her grandfather started and which her father ran. The author marvellously evokes everyday life in a Jewish family and what it was like to grow up around an old fashioned run restaurant. It tells of eccentric uncles and gorgeous aunts, millionaire grandfathers all of whom live a couple of blocks from each other. There are tales of ancestors who were the first to bring pastrami to the new world, of aunt Ruthie who gave the burglar breaking into her apartment a meal and a lecture. it is dotted with recipes (not all kosher) both old and new. This is a very entertaining and colourful portrait of a unique family and a charming recreation of a lost era.
Read by Anita Boston (1 Cd) Cecil Helman was born in South Africa into a family of doctors. He studied medicine there during the Apartheid era before moving to the UK where he studied anthropology at University College London. Helman is many things: old-fashioned general practitioner, psychiatrist, cultural anthropologist, storyteller, poet and artist, all these things come together in this book. A beautifully written, devastatingly honest and often very funny account of an audacious and adventurous life.
Read by Diana Toeman (1 Cd) Sixty-four years after the authors death we are finally able to listen to the last work of a writer who had held a mirror up to France at its darkest hour. Set during a year that begins with the Nazi invasion in June 1940 and ends with Germany turning its attention to Russia, Suite Francaise falls into two parts, all that the author was able to complete before her tragic death in Auschwitz. No. 1341 Tale Of Love And Darkness, Aby Amos Oz Read by Alan Lewis (1 Cd) Love and darkness are just two of the powerful forces that run through Amos Oz's extraordinary, moving story. He takes the reader on a bold seductive journey through his childhood and adolescence, a quixotic childs-eye-view along Jerusalem's war-torn streets in the 1940's and 50's, and into his marriage. This is a memoir like no other and one that cries out to be read and wept over.
Read by Frieda Bier (1 Cd) This is a captivating exploration of the relationship between a grandmother and her grand-daughter. The very special relationship between them brings back to the storyteller the memories of her own grandmother left in Berlin before the war and her own privileged upbringing which was shattered when she came to England with her family to escape the Nazis.
