June Emerson
In 1981 June Emerson received a letter from a customer in Buenos Aires, which was so remarkable that she kept it, and replied straight away. The ensuing correspondence lasted eleven years and ranged from music to literature, family life to politics (including the Falklands War).
The letters are funny, thoughtful, moving and serious, and paint a picture of two fascinating personalities living on opposite sides of the world, and in completely different cultural environments, yet both passionately concerned with what makes life truly worth living.
‘A wonderful book. I loved it!’

An unpackaged journey to parts of Egypt that tourists rarely see. The detailed glimpses of life in Egypt are seen with understanding, compassion and humour.
It was in a mood of light-hearted curiosity that the author first visited Albania, but music proved to be the key which unlocked many doors in this isolated land.
June Emerson was the first Western musician to study the conditions of Albanian music under Communism, and then to observe the flowering of many talents long repressed.
