Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood.

Press Release: 30Th January Portraits: a Forthcoming Exhibition in Oxford's
Press release: 30th January Portraits: a forthcoming exhibition in Oxford’s Jam Factory by novelist Mark Haddon and painter Tom Croft. Oxford’s Mark Haddon is internationally known for his award-winning book The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night Time, a series of other popular novels and a more recent foray into short stories The Pier Falls. He is also a talented artist, painter and print-maker and throughout March he is co-presenting an exhibitions of portraits in The Jam Factory Art centre, Oxford alongside acclaimed portraitist Tom Croft who lives in Wolvercote and with whom he became friends at the school gates as they collected their respective children. Whereas Croft’s work is ‘painterly’ with passionate brush strokes in bold colourful oils to capture a person’s spirit and bring the face alive, Haddon’s portraits appear more measured and precise giving both a representation of the person and clues to the life they lead. ‘I’ve never been commissioned to paint or draw a portrait,’ says Mark, ‘I simply choose people and ask them if they’d mind, and then I give them the portrait, or a print of it, if they like it. I choose my subjects because I like the person, I like their work and I like their face, or some combination of those things: some are friends and others are people I’ve approached out of the blue.’ Alongside artists, academics, family members and everyday people who have mattered to him, the show includes portraits of eight writers, including novelists Sunetra Gupta and Molly McGrann, two poets, Summertown’s acclaimed children’s author Ted Dewan and Simon Stephens, the playwright who adapted The Curious Dog for stage and so it’s the perfect diversion for visitors to Oxford’s Literary Festival.
