Japan's Comfort Women: Sexual slavery and prostitution during WWII and the US occupation by Yuki Tanaka,Routledge, 2002.	An amazing compilation of research. Presented in a sensitive way that anyone can understand.

Operating Instructions: A journal of my son's first year, by Anne Lamott,Fawcett Columbine, 1993.	Expect to see many more books by her in the next few months. Mynew favourite author. A sigh of relief...sarcastic, witty, honest...

Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga, Seal Press,2004.	This book was so good, I could almost taste it. I felt like I was right there, in colonial Rhodesia, in the 1960's.

A Single Square Picture by Katy Robinson, Berkley Books, 2002.	A Korean adoptee's search for her roots. A great memoir. Her story pulled me in.

The Aquariums of Pyongyang, by Kang Chol-Hwan, Basic Books, 2005.	What an amazing book about the life of a boy who grew up in a camp North Korea. Very well written and hard to put down.
