Further items have been added to the small storage area which can be delivered on request.  They are as follows:

The Dalai Lama’s  – “My Land and My People” – first published in 1962 and still in print today.  The story of the Dalai Lama’s early life in humble surroundings, his training as a monk in Tibetan Buddhism and his escape to India to lead the Tibetan government in exile following the bloody subjugation of his people by the Chinese government.

Kevin Danaher’s –  “In Ireland Long Ago” – one for social historians or folk with Irish family roots wanting to know more about life in Ireland pre WW2.  An easy read set out under a number of headings including “Thatch and Whitewash” about vernacular architecture and “Our Daily Bread” on traditional bread types.  A charming book.

Bernadine Evaristo’s – “Girl, Woman, Other” – joint winner of the Booker Prize in 2019, shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in 2020 and still on the Sunday Times bestsellers list – a novel “written” by twelve very different characters on an entwined journey.  A five-star read.

Antonio Iturbe’s  – “The Librarian of Auschwitz” – “A book is like a trapdoor that leads to a secret attic.  You can open it and go inside.  And your world is different.” “Books are extremely dangerous; they make people think” – just two quotations from the International best-selling novel based on the true story of Dita Kraus who risked her life to keep the magic of books alive during the Holocaust.  A must read.
