The differences between gifted and other children lie in their abilities, but the way gifted children and other people react to their gifts also makes their experience different. About 1980, Joan Freeman compared a group of children aged five to 14, deemed "gifted" by their parents, with two control groups of children, one matched for ability and the other taken at random. This book comprises the results of her follow-up study, ten years later, looking at their progress and the complex pattern of their experiences. It should give valuable psychological insights and points out changes of direction needed in the care and education of gifted young people. It is aimed at teachers, parents, psychologists and the general reader.

Europeans gay and straight populate a story inspired by artists and writers who moved in the Bohemian circles of Paris before the first World War. Readers may trace hints left by the work of classic authors such as D.H. Lawrence and Radcliffe Hall while the multiple characters of The Other Side offer fresh insights. Parisian playwright Charlie whose wealth, success and good looks turn heads is well known on both sides of the channel. But she is also an English aristocrat. Is a love affair with a painter of less exalted origins likely? Can the demimonde of the early twentieth century have imagined true love for serious artist, Anna, or for Charlie?
