` When I am disturbed, even angry, gardening has been a therapy. When I don`t want to talk I turn to Plot 29, or to a wilder piece of land by a northern sea. There, among seeds & trees, my breathing slows; my heart rate too. My anxieties slip away.` As a young boy in 1960s Plymouth, Allan Jenkins & his brother, Christopher, were rescued from their care home & fostered by an elderly couple. There, the brothers started to grow flowers in their riverside cottage. They found a new life with their new mum & dad. As Allan grew older, his foster parents were never quite able to provide the family he & his brother needed, but the solace he found in tending a small London allotment echoed the childhood moments when he grew nasturtiums from seed. Over the course of a year, Allan digs deeper into his past, seeking to learn more about his absent parents. Examining the truths & untruths that he`d been told, he discovers the secrets to why the two boys were in care. What emerges is a vivid portrait of the violence & neglect that lay at the heart of his family. A beautifully written, haunting memoir, Plot 29 is a mystery story & meditation on nature & nurture. It`s also a celebration of the joy to be found in sharing food & flowers with people you love. ...

What then followed in America is the historical setting for this startling new novel by Pulitzer-prize winner Philip Roth, who recounts what it was like for his Newark family during the menacing years of the Lindbergh presidency, when American citizens who happened to be Jews had every reason to expect the worst. ...
