Read by Frieda Bier (1 Cd) This book is by a Palestinian woman and for the Jewish observer an uncomfortable experience of her life in the occupied areas. It contains a diary the author kept during the Israeli invasion of Ramallah in March 2002 and we learn how daily chores such as buying food and visiting friends and relatives become Herculean tasks for anyone living in a state of siege. And yet, despite the agony of the situation, Suad Amiry's book is refreshingly different from any other writings on the Palestian-Israeli conflict, often funny with a sharp ear for dialogue and an eye for the telling details of human behaviour.

He committed a crime. He went to prison. Now he's out , his wife has told him to write an account of who he is and why he is who he is. Despite everything, Robert remains heroically determined to carry on being the same magnificently pompous and self righteous man he always was, utterly resistant to therapy, change and the emotional demands of the opposite sex.

No. 1604 Silence of Dark Water,The by Jonathan Wittenberg Read by Clive Roslin This is a book that must be read. It is moving and real. The best way to describe it is to quote two people - first Rabbi Julia Neuberger, in its simple prose, with an intensity of emotion and profoundly spiritual awareness that is beguiling, enviable and immensly attractive. And in the Guardian Richard Hariser said "I look forward to it's coming out in paperback for there is no one whose life would not gain greatly in qaulity by reading it". It will have a great effect on all. It has great spirituality and emotion.
