From Newbury With Love: Letters of friendship across the Iron Curtain Book

Harold Edwards first wrote to Marina Aidova in 1971 in response to an Amnesty International letter-writing campaign. Marina's father Slava had been imprisoned for 'crimes against the state', and the family needed support. The 70-year-old bookseller was passionate about Russian literature and culture. And 7-year-old Marina's birthday was the day before his own. The two families corresponded until Harold's death in 1986. Written with immense humanity, understanding and affection, their letters covered subjects ranging from books to Buddhism. They certainly helped save Slava's family from utter despair. This is a book about a rare kind of friendship and a reminder that small good deeds really can make all the difference.Read More
