The first volume of Ingrid Jacoby's diary followed her escape as a Jewish refugee to Cornwall. The second, My Darling Diary: Oxford 1944-50 (United Writers, £18.95) tells how she found lodgings in North Oxford, a job in the Central Library and then at Parker's bookshop, had an affair with the tenor Richard Tauber, then joined the antiquarian bookseller Rosenthal.
