| Synopsis: |
Soulmates: True stories from the world of online dating is a fascinating, eye-opening and often riotously funny look at modern Britain through the lens of the oddest form of socialising yet invented - internet dating. Online dating has taken the nation by storm - 7.8 million Brits, that's half the population of British singletons, tried it out last year. Beautifully written and researched by award-winning filmmaker and author Sonali Fernando, Soulmates is a deliciously quirky, perceptive and entertaining read. The book features a unique collection of over a hundred true stories from the frontline of online dating, recounted by some of the brilliant and brainy, imaginative and inspiring people who use leading British dating websites. Cultural history meets personal testimony as Sonali Fernando takes the temperature of modern British relationships. Embracing stories told by online daters aged between 21 and 83 she freewheels through themes ranging from dating disasters to long-distance love affairs, cybercourtship to online lies.Here, finally, is a thinking person's guide to online dating that traces the cultural context of this intimate form of social networking and explores the colossal impact of the internet on our personal lives. Life-affirming, poignant and funny,Soulmates offers an utterly fresh and original view of contemporary Britain. |

Molotov's Magic Lantern
When Rachel Polonsky went to live in Moscow, she found an apartment block in Romanov Street. One apartment had been Vyacheslav Molotov's, Stalin's henchman. Molotov was ruthless - and an ardent bibliophile. Rachel visited cities and landscapes associated with the books in his library. In each place, she encountered the spirit of great artists such as Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Akhmatova - and the terrible past of a country ravaged by war, famine, and totalitarianism.

Love Bites
Prompted partly by gastronomic curiosity and partly by sheer greed, Mr H entered the kitchen with Mrs H as his guide. The result is perhaps the most honest food book ever written. It is certainly one of the funniest.
