|summary=Terry Eagleton is a Brit (Manchester born, no less) who now lives in Dublin with his American wife and children, so he seems well placed to write a book about the difference between us and them, there Yanks. Mid way through the pages, he even stops to tell us that in a way he had to write this, because when he wishes to read a book, he writes it. To read someone else’s, he suggests, is ‘an unwarranted invasion of their personal space’. That’s how so very British he is.

|summary= Dr Malcolm Goldblatt has just started another temporary Senior Registrar's role in yet another hospital. However this time it's different. This is his last attempt to springboard his career into a consultant's grade. Whether he succeeds or not depends on so many factors: his two-faced, murderously ambitious colleague, the patients and Fuertler's Syndrome, a condition that may be obscure and comparatively unimportant but still has the power to make or break him.
