Time To Read is a partnership of librarians engaged in reader development activity in public library authorities in the North West Region. In the case of Wayne, his journey involved dragging himself out of the gutter and organised prostitution was hardly the ideal way to do it.

He did however, have feelings for other people and these developed more and more as the book proceeded until near the end, he broke away completely from the underworld. As for Hussein, he is undoubtedly the villain of the book but even he has some feelings and while dealing in drugs he felt sullied by the association. My task as a writer is to create credible characters and them use them as vehicles for my own thoughts. My grandparents and great-grandparents came to this country in the 19th century to escape persecution.

Hence, I love tales about migrants. That is not to say that I do not respect ALL people leading decent, repectable lives. I also love my British and West European culture; that way of life is also important to me but not the worst excesses of the drink, drugs and pop culture. That is true but if I write about real people they are all migrants.

My latest book starts with the founder of a family from 1, years ago-a Viking. But then if we wish to be honest with ourselves, there is no such thing as racial purity. All nations have suffered or enjoyed waves of migrants including, if I may say so, Pakistan and India. The Muslim and Jewish skullcaps, Muslim Hijab and Jewish religious obligation to cover the hair and Moishe and Hussein getting religious education in seminaries, Were the cultural similarities deliberate?

That is just the way it is.

We Jews have much in common with our Christian friends but even more with Muslims. How important are the family structures in forming a strong and stable cultural and social identity for migrant communities in UK. Absolutely vital as long as the parents are teaching tolerance of those of different faiths and backgrounds. There is never a need to integrate religiously but culturally migrants must decide where their day to day loyalties lie. This can be difficult if some of their fellow citizens are not welcoming but if they wish to stay in the country they must do their best to prove themselves, at least to the right-thinking majority.

People who have been in trouble and served their debt to society must make the effort to re-habilitate themselves but it is also up to society to give them every opportunity to lead productive lives. If they have served their sentence then they should be regarded as clean unless they offend again. We Jews have been here for a long time and many have distinguished themselves as loyal British subjects. This is now beginning to happen with our newer Muslim citizens where they are represented in both Houses of Parliament.

Lionel Ross

That does not mean that they stop being Jews or Muslims as there is absolute freedom of religion in this country. We all know that it was not always so and that there are many countries in the world where freedom of religion still does not exist. However, once he had broken away from that influence he did all he could to help the police and I feel that he finished up regarding himself as British. He was however, a beneficiary of all the illegal activities of Al Qaeda and obviously thought that these people were his friends.

Wayne, on the other hand, starts out as part of the underworld and then builds his way out of it by using it to his advantage but he knows he wishes ultimately to be away from illegal activities. Hussein is a fanatic.

The Daily Chronicle from De Kalb, Illinois · Page 7

When most Roman Catholic Irishmen think about their history they are inevitably and justifiably bitter about the way the British treated them. They practised ethnic cleansing on a massive scale and applied some of the worst aspects of imperialism on their neighbours. Once Sean broke away, as stated above, he could become a good hard-working citizen of the UK with an undimished love for Ireland, the country of his forebears. Moishe Isaacs is not self-hating. He starts out from the premise that until the Messiah comes there should be no Jewish government in Israel.

For much of the last two hundred years most of the residents of the village owed their livelihoods to the Oliver family, who were both the local squires and mill-owners. However, once they had established their other family home in the leafy London suburb of Hampstead, their influence was felt well beyond the boundaries of the small East-Lancashire village. The family was simultaneously privileged and popular, but nothing could protect them from the tragedy, family feud and romantic, political and business machinations that all but overwhelmed them.

Alongside all this runs the thread of the tantalising mystery of the sacred Viking Burial Mound at the end of their large garden and how its secrets would be drip-fed into the lives of this extraordinary family.
