Presently an attorney in private practice, Pam Jenoff served as Vice-Consul for the U.S. State Department in Krakow, Poland, and as the special assistant to the secretary of the army at the Pentagon. She is an expert on Poland and the Holocaust, and has published several scholarly articles and been honoured by a number of organizations for her work in this field. Book review posted from Taradale Read 'N' Chat The winter guest by Pam Jenoff 18 year old Nowak twins Helena and Ruth raise their 3 younger siblings in Poland under Nazi occupation. Helena and Ruth are very different characters with different beliefs. Helena rescues an American Jewish paratrooper Sam and develops feelings for him. Sam and Helena believe the family can escape. But who can you trust in such a time. A great read, I have been going through her books available. Other members in Read 'N' Chat are enjoying the Pam Jenoff books at Taradale Library.

Goneville : a memoir by Nick Bollinger "Bollinger was just 18 when he went on the road with the band Rough Justice and its smoky-voiced, charismatic leader Rick Bryant. The next two years were sometimes uplifting and exciting, other times enervating and depressing. It was the 1970s and pot was plentiful. Often, though, the band was short of other things- money, food, shelter, and petrol for its increasingly ramshackle, broken-down bus. Goneville is both a coming-of-age story and an intimate look at the evolving music scene in '70s New Zealand. It shows how this music intersected - sometimes violently - with the prevailing culture, in which real men played rugby, not rock. Nick Bollinger draws on his own experiences, seeks out key players and unsung heroes - and vividly portrays a divided country, set to shatter apart for a generation." Also by Nick Bollinger How to listen to pop music

Peter Rabbit DVD

I loved this movie. A very modern and fresh take on the old classic book by Beatrix Potter. A very clever merge of animation and real movie. This is a very funny and entertaining film for all age groups. The rabbits are so round and soft looking and they move so rhythmically. One of my team mates has watched it three times. An adorable film and a good story line.
