|title=Land Where I Flee
|rating=5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=Chitralekha Guraamaa is preparing for her 84th birthday celebrations - her Chaurasi - and her grandchildren (or rather grandadults as they are now) arrive from around the world. They went away in search of a better life but better comes at a cost. Baghwati married beneath her caste, Manasa is resentful of an apparently helpless disabled father-in-law and Agastaya hides a man-sized secret. All have one thing in common: the dread of facing their manipulative, powerful grandmother and their inability to get on with each other. Worlds may collide but let the festivities commence!

|title=
|summary=Annie's father is dead. She's not particularly upset as it's a decade or so since they've had any contact. Dada (he preferred to be called 'Father') had wanted her to go into the family business, to make money. She'd wanted to go to Trinity College in Dublin to read English Literature, but instead she'd packed a suitcase and left for London, where she still is - working in a bookshop. Her mother died when she was young - Dada had sent the child off to boarding school and did his best to ensure that her mother's name was never referred to again - and it wasn't too long before he remarried. His death brought Annie back to Ireland and she found that the money had been left to wife number two (as he was confident that she would know how to look after it) but the house now belonged to Annie.

|title=The Currency of Paper
|rating=4.5
|genre=Literary Fiction
|summary=Maximilian Sacheverell Hollingsworth was - as the name might suggest - of aristocratic birth, but had broken off all contact with his family and in consequence found himself labouring for forty hours a week in a printing works in Dagenham. He came upon the idea of planning out his entire life and this he did in the course of a single afternoon whilst enjoying a little illicit sick leave in a pub in Bloomsbury. He would first become a counterfeiter - on a massive scale - and then a sculptor, filmmaker, collector of artefacts, sound artist and mystic. Circumstances would also turn him into a recluse, except on certain well-ordered occasions, most of which would occur - somewhat to his initial surprise - later in his life.
