|title=Lucky
|summary=RAF veteran Harry Leslie Smith rose to prominence last year with a famous Guardian article 'This year, I will wear a poppy for the last time' about the way in which the remembrance of those who died in the great wars has been co-opted to justify today’s military conflicts. Here, he tackles themes of poverty, political corruption, unemployment, and a lack of hope felt by so many people today.

|author=Brian Thompson
|title=A Corner of Paradise: A love story (with the usual reservations)
|rating=5
|genre=Biography
|summary=In the early seventies Brian Thompson met Elizabeth North, both of them part of failing marriages which would have died without any intervention on their parts. They became friends, they fell in love but they never felt the need to marry and would be together until Liz's death in 2010 at the age of seventy eight. Both are authors - Thompson would maintain that North was the better writer - and North would perhaps have said that ''she'' should have made that clear. ''A Corner of Paradise'' tells the story - not of the homes they lived in - but of the joy of their relationship.
