Marina Tells Them

ARINA’S book taiks from 1ZB every Tuesday morning at 11.30 are becoming bywords among Auckland booklovers as a quide to their reading. Last week local libraries were inundated with reguests for Daniel’s Vare’s autobiography, "Laughing Diplomat,’ which she mentioned as the best book of the year. Marina gives her reviews in a pithy, interesting manner, and, on occasions, actually introduces over the air, the author of the book she is reviewing. For instance, New Zealand authoress, Jean Hewett was there when Marina reviewed her iatest novel, "A Divorce. Has Been " and the American yachtswoman, Mrs. Marion Rice Hart, was in the studio when her book, "Who Called That Lady A Skipper?" was | ‘reviewed. Marina herself has travelled extensively, brings a wide knowledge of world affairs to her subject.
