Everymanby Philip Roth Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) Roth's story is of a sucessful commercial artist, with a New York advertising agency, who recalls his life from childhood through to retirement.

Exileby Richard North Patterson Read by Simon Cohen (26 Cds) David Wolfe's life is approaching an exhilarating peak: he is a successful San Francisco lawyer, he is soon to be married and he is being groomed as a future Congressman. But when the phone rings and he hears the voice of Hana Arif - a Palestinian woman with whom he had a secret affair at law school - he begins a completely unexpected journey. The next day while visiting San Francisco, the Prime Minister of Israel is assassinated by a suicide bomber; soon Hana herself is accused of being the mastermind behind the murder. Now David faces an agonizing choice: will he, a Jew represent Hana - who may well be guilty - or will he turn away the one woman he can never forget? No. 1694 Exiled Times Of A Tibetan Jew, Theby Jake Wallis Simons Read by Clive Roslin (1 Cd) This novel is described as being a tragicomedy. We begin with the birth of Mo, born to a poor immigrant Tibetan couple living in London, but as Mo grows up, everyone around him gets younger. Each individual day proceeds in normal time, but when he wakes up the next day, it is the day before yesterday. This means that Mo experiences the end of every relationship before it begins or he meets people who know all about his `future' which has actually taken place in the past. Needless to say, this makes things difficult for him, especially with girls. The novel comes to its end ingeniously, with a death and a rebirth, where, promisingly, time seems to be going forward for Mo at last. No. 1561 Exile’s Return, The by Elizabeth De Waal Read by Frieda Bier
Read by Valerie Goodhardt (1 Cd) When Donna Braun is murdered her killer is given a derisory sentence. Her father, outraged by this sentence, kills the murderer and then what follows is a fascinating murder mystery. Rabbi Winter tries to solve the mystery with insights from the Torah. This novel is based on fact and is dedicated to three young women whose lives were ended by men who collectively served fewer than ten years in prison for their murders.
Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) This is the second novel by Israeli author Shifra Horn. She was raised in the Katamon district of Jerusalem, in a vacated old Arab house, as is Rosa her heroine. 'The fairest Among Women' tells the story of a voluptuous beauty with a huge appetite for all life's sensual pleasures it combines the joy of physical indulgence and the sorrow of personal tragedy. Rosa was married at least three times (as prophesied by a flight of butterflies) loves cooking, gardening and making love. Bell, the china doll, links the past to the present. It is a beautifully written book with a strange fairy tale quality. At times poetic, then earthy or 'steamy'. An unforgettable read.
Read by Jennifer Bower (1 Cd) An intimate portrayal of two very different sisters whose lives become increasingly entwined as they approach middle age and face up to the reality that earlier hopes for their future will never come to pass. Their relationship with each other and those close to them is portrayed, as well as their inherent characters which have not allowed them to become as affectionate or supportive as they could have been to each other. A very moving and perceptive novel.
Read by Valerie Goodhardt When Leah asks her mother-in-law to tell her about Tzvi's life she cannot understand why she is so upset. What secrets are hidden? What is it she doesn't want to reveal? We are taken back three generations in the rabbinic family, and the story is told with warmth and imagination. We laugh and cry with them as their challenges and struggles are told. We all recognise in them part of ourselves. A long family saga and a most enjoyable book.
Read by Hilary Michel (1 Cd) Murder is eternally funny in Eternal Texas. Ruby, the Rabbi's wife, is on top of it all. Ruby enjoys her morning fix at The Hot Bagel shop and when one day someone goes into a convulsion and dies there are too many unanswered questions that Ruby needs to get answers to. This book is a treat to read.
Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) Here are two individual stories that comprise this delightful collection. Simple language and straight forward narration indicate the need for human connection in so many different situations and give us much to ponder over. Each story stands alone. Story eight entitled 'The Crossing' was winner of the International PEN David T K Wong short story prize 2001. Short stories at their best.
