|title=Eddie the Kid
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=Eddie Bereskin is arrested in a London anti-war protest in 2002. His parents, Stuart and Jessica, were also anti-war activists back in their day and are still passionate about their socialist values. Indeed, Eddie has inherited their socialist beliefs and genes but being a child from that household comes at a high price; a price that Eddie and his sister Esther continue to pay. There again, being known as 'The Downing Street Tickler' does come with a sort of kudos that he doesn't mind.

|title=Outsiders
|rating=4
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=''Outsiders'' is a collection of six pieces of writing by Italian authors. The pieces have been collated from a supplement to an Italian daily newspaper and six have been chosen around the theme of outsiders for translation into English. Thus, the pieces themselves were not written around this specific theme but have rather had this theme imposed on them in this collection. Since the outsider is often used in various forms by writers to observe the status quo, this is not a big leap of imagination.
