Spectacle Salesman's Family, Theby Viola Roggenkamp Read by Mary Ross (1 Cd) Paul Schiefer is a travelling spectacles salesman. Every Monday morning he leaves Hamburg on a week-long sales trip. His wife, mother-in-law, and two teenage daughters, Fania and Vera, see him off with abundant hugs and kisses, and they welcome him back with equal exuberance on Friday evening, just in time for the Sabbath. While her husband is away Alma Schiefer looks after the well-being of her family with an explosive mixture of ferocious love and extreme determination. Meanwhile, thirteen-year old Fania, who is the main character, is torn between the comfort of home and the fearful thrills of the unknown outside world, a 1960's world that contains student protests, beehive hairdos, Israel and the Six Day War, politics, religion, revolution and the promise of love.

Read by Ita Rubin (1 Cd) This is a novel of great stylistic beauty and psychological truth, it's brilliantly written. Paul Sturgis is retired and lives alone in South Kensington. He walks alone, and dines alone. He takes pleasure in small exchanges with strangers. Unable to make sense of his solitary nature and fearing death among strangers, he wonders whether at last he might be ready for companionship. A chance meeting with an old girlfriend and an encounter in Venice compel Sturgis to decide how and with whom he will spend the rest of his days.
Read by Vera Norman (1 Cd) A very exciting but moving story against a background of seediness and violence. An interesting element is the relationship between the Jewish female detective and the Jewish black male nurse.
by Etgar Keret Read by Ruth Hill Etgar Keret's stories are memorable for their brevity and detailed descriptions of situations. 38 short stories packed into one small book. Each tale is original asn surprising for its inventiveness. He asks his readers' imagination to run riot. A man barges into a writer's house, holds a gun to his head and mouth, opens it to reveal a very different man inside. Keret's stories are strangely absurd but will haunt the reader. Unforgettable! No. 1753

Read by Cynthia Bernstein (1 Cd) Rhona Laski's life is squeezed into her ensuite room in the Sidney Fleiss Old People's Home In the suburban village of Didsbury, Manchester, where a community like no other laid its roots. Meanwhile, her friend Sylvia's elegant home 'Lynton' must be sold, yet no buyer can be found in this property hot-spot. Sylvia's granddaughter should know why, working as she does for the estate agency selling the house, but her attentions become focused on a photographer with a passion for the endangered and overlooked. The question is who is being taken for a ride by whom? With beautifully described characters and scenes it is easy for anyone to picture the scene. Written in an original, moving yet comical manner this book is full of believable perceptions of a vanishing world. Most of the main characters are Jewish by birth and the novel catches the sense of community expertly. It is a story of life, love and preserving a vanishing heritage.

This is a passionate, intimate and often profoundly sad account of a woman's search for her past whilst moving slowly into her own complicated future with the love of her life.
