A moving, deeply empathetic memoir about Jewish family and history, which encourages us all to confront the lines we draw.

As a Jewish journalist covering the Middle East, Tim Franks has over the years been accused of being both a self-hating Jew and an Islamophobe. He always tried to draw a clear line between his identity and his work. Up to the point that he asked himself: is that necessary? Is it such a combustible mix? They were questions he struggled to answer. To begin with, he was a Jew without much of a back-story.
So he set out on a journey for his ancestral roots, one which took him from Constantinople to Curaçao, from Auschwitz to Lithuania to Downing Street. Along the way he challenged how he saw not just himself but the world. This is a moving, deeply empathetic memoir, which encourages us all to confront the lines we draw.
TIM FRANKS presents Newshour on the BBC World Service, with a global audience of millions. He was previously a BBC reporter for almost two decades, including nine years as an award-winning foreign correspondent. He has covered several major conflicts. And spent two years as the BBC's least likely sports correspondent.

Franks, Tim: - "

Tim Franks has presented Newshour, the flagship news and current affairs programme on the BBC World Service, since 2013. It has by far the biggest audience of any British radio news programme - a global and growing weekly reach of more than 20 million. It is syndicated coast-to-coast in the US on hundreds of public radio stations. Before that, Tim spent almost 20 years as a reporter. He cut his teeth reporting on the Troubles in Northern Ireland and ended up as the Today programme's special political correspondent.

Tim spent nine years as a foreign correspondent, based in the Washington, Brussels and Jerusalem bureaux, travelling across Europe and the Middle East. He's covered several major conflicts, from Iraq and Israel-Lebanon, to South Sudan and Ukraine. Tim won one of the most prestigious international war-reporting awards - the Bayeux - for his coverage of war in Gaza. Although he's now based in London, with Newshour, Tim does still regularly report from the field, and has co-presented the programme from locations as diverse as Managua, Beijing, Addis Ababa, Caracas, Washington DC, Berlin and Bujumbura.
