Tanja Slavnić

The Lovatts fill their lives with children. Relatives crowd round the kitchen table at Christmas and Easter, enjoying the warmth of the Lovatt's home. With the fifth pregnancy things begin to sour. The baby moves inside Harriet too early, too violently. After a difficult birth, he develops faster and grows much bigger than ordinary infants; he is unloving and instinctively disliked by his brothers and sisters. Inexorably, his alien presence wrecks the dream of their happy family. Harriet's fear grows as she struggles to love and care for the child, finding herself faced with a dark sub-continent of human nature, unable to cope.

Peto dete

Mohammed Darweesh

This story of a family, spanning most of the 20th century, has its fulcrum in the 1960s. The young of that time, breaking free, were seen by some not as romantic idealists but as deeply damaged people. Old Julia, the clan's matriarch, knows why. "You can't have two dreadful wars and then say 'That's it, and now everything will go back to normal.' They're screwed up, our children, they are children of war." Remarkable women, Julia and Frances, grandmother and mother, fight for "the kids" against all obstacles. At the home's emotional centre, the kitchen table, the family sit around eating, joking, boasting about their shoplifting, debating current ideologies, which take some of them out to the Third World, one to a south African village dying of AIDS.
