About the Author Book of the Week Red Dust Road 1.5 by Jackie Kay Book of the Week Red Dust Road 2.5 Book of the Week Red Dust Road 3.5 Book of the Week Red Dust Road 4.5 Book of the Week Red Dust Road 5.5 ******In this revelatory and redemptive book, with characteristic generosity and humour, Jackie Kay tells the most inspirational of stories: her own. 'I was adopted by warm-spirited Scottish communists. When people ask me if I've ever found my 'real' Mum and Dad, it is them I think of. A while ago, I tracked down my Nigerian birth father and discovered him to be a born-again Christian, who didn't want his current family to know anything about me. 'If people were to know about You', he said, 'they would lose their faith in God'. Heavens, I said. I hadn't realized I was that powerful. He had my hands, my father, my gestures. Years before, I traced my birth mother and discovered her to be a Mormon. She had my voice, my mother, my patterns. "Red Dust Road" is a book about belonging and beliefs, strangers and family, biology and destiny. What makes us who we are? My adoption is a story that has happened to me. I couldn't make it up'. From Glasgow to Lagos and beyond, the much-anticipated "Red Dust Road" takes the reader on an intimate and unforgettable journey across continents and time. Book of the Week Tokyo Vice 1.5 by Jake Adelstein. Book of the Week Tokyo Vice 2.5 Book of the Week Tokyo Vice 3.5 Book of the Week Tokyo Vice 4.5 Book of the Week Tokyo Vice 5.5 ******As an American journalist in Japan, Jake Adelstein uncovered a world unknown to many of the Japanese public, let alone to foreigners: the world of organized crime. For 12 years, he investigated for Japan's largest newspaper, the Yomiuri Shinbun. In his final story, Adelstein went toe-to-toe with one of the country's most notorious crime bosses, a discovery that led to death threats for him and his family — death threats that have yet to be lifted. His new memoir about his experiences is called Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan. Coda 1.5 by Simon Gray Coda 2.5 Coda 3.5 Coda 4.5 Coda 5.5 ******The last word of the first paragraph of this memoir is "dying". The playwright Simon Gray had just been told that this was the first day of the last year of his life. While this, of course, had its downside for him as a patient, it presented enviable advantages to a writer. He writes Coda as the cancer clock ticks and the shadow of the grim reaper's scythe falls powerfully over his already potent prose. In this comic and moving memoir, he is not just penning a description of a holiday in Crete, he is writing about his last holiday in Crete. Or anywhere.

Robb, a biographer who lives in Britain, has written extensively on France and has a long-term love affair with Paris.
