In 1971, a retired antiquarian bookseller in England
began what would become a compelling, often extraordinary, 15-year
correspondence with a family in the Soviet Union. Published in association
with Amnesty International, From Newbury With Love: Letters of
Friendship Across the Iron Curtain ($20.00 pb), edited by Marina Aidova and
Anna Horsbrugh-Porter is a memorable celebration of life, communication,
reading and humanity. Perfect for fans of Helene Hanff's classic, 84 Charing
Cross Road.
