Originally published in 1918, “Echoes of the War” is a wonderful collection of four short stories involving families affected by First World War by Scottish novelist J. M. Barrie, most famous for writing the children’s story Peter Pan.

In “Echoes of the War,” each of the stories deals with civilian life in London during the war with a touch of drama but also moments of humour. The stories are condensed, but also very well constructed.

    The Odd Women by George Gissing explores the lives of unmarried women in Victorian England, a society where marriage was seen as the primary path to security and fulfillment. The novel centers on the Madden sisters, left destitute after their father’s death, and contrasts their struggles with the lives of Rhoda Nunn and Mary Barfoot, who advocate for women’s independence through education and work. Meanwhile, the charming but selfish Everard Barfoot complicates matters with his flirtation with one of the Madden sisters. Gissing critiques societal norms that marginalize "surplus" women—those left unmarried due to demographic imbalances—and highlights the limited options available to them. Through its richly drawn characters, The Odd Women examines themes of gender inequality, economic dependence, and the tension between tradition and progress. A poignant and thought-provoking work, it sheds light on the challenges faced by women striving for autonomy in a patriarchal world.

    It’s almost Christmas and, in a ballroom just beyond the cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town, the most important event of the year is taking place – the Foxtrot Oscars. Mrs Hubbard’s whole senior citizenship has been building towards the moment she and her Douglas take the Over Sixties Swingers Cup. What could possibly go wrong, dearies? 
     
    When the Losers Club friends arrive to cheer the couple on, they expect a weekend of shopping, dancing and binge-watching all the TV programmes they can’t get back home. Instead, they find Mrs Hubbard missing and blood on the dancefloor. 
     
    With the city gridlocked and the police unable to reach them, it is up to Losers Club to investigate. Why would someone snatch the village shopkeeper? And what does it have to do with the contents of Mrs Hubbard’s third biggest handbag? 
     
    Helped by friends old and new, the Losers follow the trail through Edinburgh’s darkest places to solve a Jacobite mystery locked in time.

After spending several months banged up in Sunny Banks rescue centre, life is looking good for Aubrey, a large tabby cat who has finally found his forever home with Molly and Jeremy. However, all that changes when a killer begins to target elderly people in the neighbourhood. Aubrey wasn’t particularly upset by some of the previous deaths—particularly that of Miss Jenkins, who enjoyed throwing stones at cats. But the latest victim, Mr Telling, was one of the good humans. Aubrey may be a pampered house pet now, but he still knows his way around the streets—and along with a few other local felines, he intends to pounce on this two-legged predator . . .
