Love in War is a love story of its time. Joanna and Johnnie were born in South London in the shadow of the Great War and were still growing up when the narrative begins in 1936 during Hitler’s rise in Nazi Germany. It ends ten years later in 1946, when Johnnie is demobilised. Despite the committed intensity of the five-year relationship, they spent only forty-nine days together. Thus, Love in War is more about managing life apart than being together. The story moves between London and Berlin (where Joanna visits in 1938 and her dear schoolfriend, Ursula lives out the war) and the horrific theatres of war in North Africa and Southern Italy, which have disastrous effects on Johnnie and render him almost unrecognisable on his return to England after the war. As the story closes, it is evident that there are no winners, just losers. Perhaps it is love that emerges as the only victor. The future is uncertain for all concerned. They have almost nothing to show for the last five years; just time lost. There remains a rather modest ray of hope – as Johnnie says at the end, ‘but we are alive.’

;Finding India reflects on the development of independent, democratic India over the first fifty years of its independence through the eyes of an English doctor, who focuses more on people than on the place, and shares revealing personal experiences of colonialism, poverty, and caste. Driven by study and work, not travel or tourism, Michael Farthing is led into the pressing issues of the day - politics, health, education, and the economy - and, subsequently, fiction, film, and fine art inspired by the nation as it re-emerges in the modern world weighed down but also inspired by cultures going back not only for centuries but for millennia.The story begins in an isolated mission hospital in an impoverished village in South India as humans take their first intrepid steps on the moon. The story ends more than forty years later, in the same hospital, when India had become one of the fastest growing world economies, a leader in information technology and manufacturing, and a nuclear power with its own space exploration program. A deeply personal story spanning half a century, Finding India includes 125 illustrations, and is an amateur's attempt to come to terms with India by gazing back in time.
