Secret, Theby Eva Hoffman Read by Frieda Bier (1 Cd) Set at some time in the future, this is a narrative story told by Iris, a young woman with a peculiarly powerful bond with her single mother. Haunted by notions of her identity and consciousness she takes the difficult path to find her roots. The secret is revealed only very slowly and proves both traumatic and deeply sinister, and puts the special relationship of mother and daughter into great danger. Eva Hoffman teases out the tell-tale signs of an alienated soul in a most compelling and convincing manner which will, at times, make the listener somewhat uncomfortable. No. 1424 Seeds of Greatnessby Jon Canter Read by Clive Roslin (1 Cd) Seeds of Greatness tells the story of two Jewish boys growing up in a North London suburb where a huge percentage of the people are Jewish. The two friends are so different, Jack is devious and naughty whereas David is a good boy and is considered to be destined for great success. As they grow up what will the future hold for these two boys? This is a very witty and delightful book.
Read by Gloria Morgan (1 Cd) What starts out as a busy night in an elegant restaurant soon turns into a nightmare when a gunman opens fire. Thirteen are dead and dozens wounded, the medics work frantically to save them. The culprit seems clear but Lieutenant Peter Decker, in charge of the investigation, needs to understand what drove the man to such a terrible act. A complicated web of suspects for the police and an insight into the family life of this likeable Lieutenant makes this a very gripping book which holds you to the end.

Read by Anthony Tibber (1 Cd) In the 'Sixth Form 1939' a young Italian girl, whose father but not mother is Jewish, is in her last year at school. She has professors she admires, headmasters who blare propaganda and make inflated speeches, and one teacher-a vitriolic portrait of fascist contempt for truth and justice-whom she loathes for his bullying and his contemptible sense of superiority. Marcella is known for her jokes and how she regards her teachers. Her jokes end up with her appearance in court for contempt of State. A charming feel good story clearly written and the time and place beautifully set.
Read by Daniel Gee (1 Cd) Thought-provoking and emotive, this fictional work is inspired by fact and tackles the subject from the non-Jewish perspective. A little slow in places but towards the close it gathers pace allowing for the pieces to come together.
Read by Esme Daniels (1 Cd) Assaf, a painfully shy, awkward, sensitive 16 year old has taken on a dull, routine summer job when he is commissioned to return a highly intelligent stray dog to its owner. At the same time a 16 year old trainee concert singer, lonely and tempestuous, undertakes an equally unpromising mission to find and rescue a particular drug addict from the menacing dangerous Jerusalem underworld. This is an exciting, adventurous story encompassing the lives of Israeli street kids, family anxieties and the discovery of tender adolescent love.

Read by Ella Marks (1 Cd) This is a book about a boy, Soumchi, which is probably more appealing to adults than children. Soumchi is an imaginative little boy living in Jerusalem during the last days of the Mandate. It tells thestory of his child-like love for his classmate Esthie, and his day- dreams of her and of travelling to darkest Africa or the Himalayas. This book is beautifully and sensitively written making Soumchi a real boy in the throes of beginning to grow up with all the misinterpretations that a child might make of what he hears the adults around him talk about.
