A piercing, poignant tale about love, loss and writing
FICTION Love Unedited Caro Llewellyn Picador, $34.99 Caro Llewellyn's Love Unedited is a piercing and poignant story of love, loss and writing that speaks to the magic of working with words, and the humanity too. Llewellyn's novel begins as the main character, Edna, meets her former lover at the Melbourne cafe The European and is transported back in time. I found myself transported back in time, too, to the kernel of truth that made me a reviewer. I remembered how when I was taking my final exams at school I used to live stream the PEN World Voices festival, and found myself caught up in the glamour and the gravitas as a global grouping of writers engaged in discussions about how writing can give hope, and courage, and takes hope, and courage, to produce too. This festival was directed by Llewellyn, who had relocated to New York after directing the Sydney Writers' Festival, and would later become chief executive of Australia's hub of literary writing, The Wheeler Centre. When I learnt Llewellyn had written a romantic roman-à-clef about an editor who worked with a literary author, I was ready to be caught up in the whirlwind romance of their work with words. There is plenty of romance to Love Unedited, and much of it is the romance of independence: work, travel and having the courage of your convictions. Llewellyn's protagonist Edna sees men on scooters in Coney Island and gets on the back of a motorcycle in Paris and the reader is swept up in the adventure of the journey. The romance of the novel is also of the kind more familiar from Shakespearean comedies: star-crossed lovers traversing oceans to be together only to find themselves separated by the tohu bohu of the exigencies of life. Edna falls in love with a serious writer marked by tragedy. What comes next is a romance that is between the novel and the reader, but Llewellyn shows hope and courage in the way she depicts a story that reads beautifully on the page and, beyond the page, carries a sense of longing and sacrifice familiar to the great love stories of our time. One of the story's most delightful surprises is the novel-within-the-novel that we realise we are reading when an Australian editor, Molly, living with an Italian chef, encounters Edna's story of love, loss, and what they ate. The story that unfolds between the editor and the writer is reminiscent of confrontations between master and pupil or author and subject that are familiar in coming-of-age stories such as the recent Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore film May December. As in Ian McEwan's Atonement, the lived experience of the story comes closer to tragedy than romantic comedy and the justice of love is best served when the writer uses her imagination to find the truest and most romantic ending for the story. In this way, Love Unedited is a great tribute to the courage it takes to write, and the hope we invest in books as readers.

Tottenham are just famous for being famous, like Gemma Collins – they should not be part of Premier League's Big Six
SHOULD Son Heung-min end up lifting the Europa League trophy for Tottenham, it will only start the argument — not finish it. Win their first silverware since 2008 and some will claim Spurs are back among the Big Six, others may say English football's ultimate fancy Dans never went away. 2 Tottenham's place in the Big Six comes with question marks that won't go even if they win the Europa League 2 Tottenham are famous for being famous — like Gemma Collins All while it's a reasonable shout to suggest they should never have been in it in the first place. Spurs did well to overcome Eintracht Frankfurt in the last eight. A cracking achievement, given how hopeless they are on the home front this season. Monday night's The European quest is impressive of late and hopefully they'll go all the way and bring the trophy back next month. Read More on Football If they do, it will finally end an agonising wait for glory stretching back 17 years — about the same time as it takes to walk from the ground to Seven Sisters Tube. The 2008 League Cup final success over Because that came almost a decade after they had bagged the same trophy. North London's original football club have never been serial winners. Most read in Football So what exactly is it that makes so many people within the game class them as members of the so-called Big Six? And in an age of fluid wealth, when clubs can be transformed overnight with foreign investment, maybe it's time to dismiss the idea of an elite enclave. How Enzo Maresca can transform Chelsea to challenge for Premier League title Defining the size of a football club has no universal measure. It's genuinely surprising that as football lurches towards total automation, some smart-arse has not conjured up a Stephen Hawking-style algorithm to calculate it to ten decimal places. Capacity of ground multiplied by number of honours, then dividing that by length of time between trophies is one possibility. Money in the bank, times international players, minus number of losses squared, all over position in the league table? Football today bears no resemblance to the 1980s. Back then it was easier to work it out as money didn't muddy the equation so much. Life was simpler. Along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton, Behind the competition They have a lovely, big ground. Stamford Bridge is tiny by comparison — but Chelsea are now by far the most successful club in London. Newcastle are awash with Saudi cash and winning this season's Carabao Cup means they have won as much as Tottenham since 2008. Aston Villa are waking up from a decades-long coma. They entertained us in the Champions League this season and are fighting hard to get back in it. Manchester City were poor neighbours of United for donkey's years. Eddie Large was their most famous fan. Yet this season is a write-off, even though they may yet win the FA Cup and qualify for a 14th successive campaign in the Champions League. They have billions locked away in their Arab owners' vaults and have amassed four Premier League titles on the trot. The Etihad isn't the biggest mind. Resentment There's been just two seasons since 2010 when Spurs finished outside the top six. Yet they are 16th and every match at their enviable new ground is tainted by resentment towards the ownership. They will lose more league games this season than they will win. Even if Son does get his hands on that Europa League trophy, three cups in 26 years is hardly massive. Relegated Leicester have won bigger things — the title and FA Cup — in the past decade. It's mind-bogglingly complex working out who is the biggest and the best. Maybe it's easier switching the sums around and instead of going mad deciding who is in the Big Six, work out who isn't. The Tottenham conundrum is much simpler then. MARESCA CAN'T WIN ENZO MARESCA copped it from some fans for not joining in the post-match celebrations of Chelsea's win at Fulham. Even though he had just been booked for overdoing it on the touchline when Pedro Neto smashed home the winner moments earlier. There is a palpable distance between the Chelsea supporters and the reserved Italian. I've yet to hear them sing his name and there is a feeling that whatever he does, they will never completely warm to him. With Chelsea trailing at half-time on Sunday, Maresca was forced to take the long walk past the away end at Craven Cottage and was roundly labelled a "w*****" by a noisy minority. I don't blame him for not wanting to attend the post-match party and salute those who, 45 minutes earlier, were giving him such stick. It seems he cannot win, despite having just won. Meanwhile, over at all-but-relegated Ipswich, boss Kieran McKenna's name was lustily cheered when read out before they were thumped 4-0 by Arsenal. It seems he cannot lose, despite losing a lot. ROCKET'S LAUNCHED LEAST surprising result of the week is The Rocket rocked up to the Crucible, typically out of form and playing the wounded animal, claiming he would be lucky to pot even one red ball. A crushing 10-4 triumph later — having won five frames in succession — and O'Sullivan is in the balls, as they say. And into the last 16. He is someone who changes his mind on a daily basis whether or not he wants to pick up a cue. But he has seven world titles dating back to 2001. O'Sullivan turns 50 in December — and there is a serious belief that he will be enjoying his eighth world crown, having surpassed the haul of his other great baize nemesis, Stephen Hendry. ENI'S WRIGHT JIBE IS JUST WRONG THE BEST broadcasters choose their words carefully. Eni Aluko has not with her surprising attack on Ian Wright for "dominating" punditry in women's football. Ex-Chelsea star Aluko says: 'If we had a situation where there was an equal opportunity for broadcasters and coaches that there is in the women's game but that's not the case. I can't dominate the men's game.' No, she can't but maybe that's for individual reasons rather than sexism. Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan will be sharing the biggest presenting gig in football with Mark Chapman on Match of the Day from next season. That's two women and one man hosting the country's flagship highlights show covering the biggest men's league in the world, with a vast audience. Genuine question . . . am I missing something here?

The European Magazine Releases Its Spring 2025 Edition
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 14, 2025 / / -- From cutting-edge energy research to emerging global finance trends, the Spring 2025 issue of The European magazine is packed with timely insight and original thinking. In this special edition, we spotlight the people, projects, and ideas shaping Europe's strategic direction — in business, science, and society The cover story is a powerful exclusive with Professor Konstantina Lambrinou of the University of Huddersfield, UK, who leads one of Europe's most ambitious research efforts into next-generation nuclear materials. She shares the inside story of HORIZON SCORPION, a major international collaboration aimed at improving reactor safety and global energy resilience. The feature explores accident-tolerant fuel (ATF) claddings, breakthrough composite materials, and the philosophical case for investing in innovation today to avoid scarcity and conflict tomorrow. The opening editorial, meanwhile, argues that Europe must start acting like a strategic power, not a diplomatic one. With the European Political Community summit in Tirana fast approaching, we assess the continent's ability to act decisively in a world defined by instability, cyber risk, and fragmented alliances. From regulated finance to data security, the leader links policy urgency to the people and ideas featured throughout this issue. Banking & Finance From trust structures to emerging markets, this issue tracks finance in motion — highlighting the people and strategies helping investors adapt in a rapidly changing world: · Mario Fisher (Old Mutual) warns of overexposure to U.S tech and makes the case for emerging markets as a diversification strategy. · Kevin Loundes (Abacus Trust Group) explains how discretionary trusts are supporting family wealth, cross-border tax planning, and legacy giving. · Matthieu André (AXA IM Select) discusses multi-manager investing, AI integration, and the results of a new pan-European ESG study. · Aronne Debono (BOV Fund Services) outlines Malta's rise as a fast, well-regulated, and globally connected financial centre. · Michael Kohlhase shares a personal take on long-term investing in a volatile environment — and why not chasing trends is a strategy in itself. Foreign Investment & Global Mobility From marine infrastructure to mobility planning, this issue also explores how capital and citizenship are being deployed as tools for resilience: – In the Turks and Caicos Islands, sustainable tourism and marine protection are drawing purpose-led investors to the archipelago's lesser-known islands — supporting long-term infrastructure and conservation goals. – Henley & Partners highlight how alternative citizenship is increasingly seen as a hedge against political instability and systemic risk — not just a lifestyle choice. – Residency Malta outlines its permanent residency scheme, offering fast, renewal-free access to the EU with minimal bureaucracy and a clear pathway to mobility security. Technology & Innovation As digital risks multiply and industries evolve at speed, this issue explores how leaders in cybersecurity, gaming, and tech are rethinking resilience, responsibility, and creativity — often from the inside out. · Steve Durbin (ISF) argues cybersecurity is no longer a technical issue but a national one. · Cofense reveals how generative AI is transforming phishing attacks — and how institutions must evolve faster than the threats. · Uri Poliavich (Soft2Bet) lays out his vision for socially responsible growth in the gaming industry. · Aleksey Savchenko delivers a searing insider essay on 'The Great Game Developer Exodus', exposing why so many top creatives are leaving major studios — and what it means for the future of games. ESG Europe's energy priorities are shifting from idealism to engineering. In this issue, we explore how multi-source plants — combining wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal — are helping to futureproof the continent's clean energy infrastructure. Travel & Lifestyle This issue's destinations focus on luxury, serenity, and ecological character: · Quellenhof Luxury Resorts in South Tyrol and Lake Garda are profiled for their spa-forward, design-conscious alpine hospitality. · The Hotel Schwarzenstein offers high-altitude wellness in the Ahrntal Valley, with panoramic pools, hay baths, and quiet spring escapes. · In 'Mad for Madeira', John E. Kaye explores volcanic coastlines, rooftop bars, boutique hotels, and wildlife tours in Portugal's island paradise. · David Fielding heads to the Dolomites to uncover an uncrowded alpine gem — and why spring may be South Tyrol's best-kept secret. Science From nuclear materials to viral hepatitis, this issue's science section examines how research can serve not just progress, but people. Whether exploring reactor safety, global health equity, or the ethics of innovation, these contributors argue for a research culture grounded in impact, integrity, and the long view. · Professor Konstantina Lambrinou discusses how material innovation could redefine nuclear safety — and planetary survival. · Dr Andreas Kluge calls for a global research model that values public interest over private gain. · Professor Geoff Dusheiko reflects on the impact of hepatitis, lessons from decades in public health, and why prevention is still the smartest policy. Education We visit EMA in Paris, a bold new entrant in executive education that is quietly rewriting the rules of business learning. Part of the GEDU global education network, EMA positions itself not as another business school, but as a launchpad for leaders fluent in ethics, agility, and international collaboration. Designed for a world where the old MBA model no longer fits, EMA blends real-world adaptability with deep academic rigour — offering programmes that prioritise digital competency, sustainability, and global outlook over case-study orthodoxy. Students are immersed in a cross-cultural learning environment that reflects the realities of today's interconnected business world, where policy, technology, and human capital intersect across borders. With Paris as its base, EMA leverages its European location to draw talent and faculty from around the world — and to embed students in a setting where diplomacy, enterprise, and innovation live side by side. It's education for the next economy — and for those ready to lead it. Culture & Literature This issue's cultural contributors explore identity, memory, and meaning — from protest and performance to healing and human connection. Whether reflecting on the legacy of civil rights, the modern resonance of early music, or the emotional terrain of professional life, each piece offers a personal lens on broader cultural truths. For example: · Forest Issac Jones reflects on civil rights, identity, and the echoes between Selma and Derry — two cities linked by struggle and change. · Nikolaj de Fine Licht discusses early music, Danish identity, and how Concerto Copenhagen bridges tradition and modernity. · Sas Saadat, author of Still Here Tomorrow, examines the human dynamics that make consulting work — or fall apart. · Dr Stephen Simpson and Tony Wrighton share a story of illness, recovery, and the power of radical lifestyle shifts. Awards The European Global Awards 2025 showcase excellence across finance, sustainability, digital innovation, and leadership. Winners range from multinational institutions to rising disruptors — all recognised for driving impact in a volatile world. Back Page Commentary The final pages of this issue offer sharp reflections on security and social design — questioning what fairness and responsibility look like in a changing world. From the ethics of national service to the architecture of inclusion, these voices challenge institutions to think — and build — differently: · M.L. Baldwin, author of Operation Fools Mate, asks whether a return to conscription in Europe is wise — or outdated. · Sara-Louise Ackrill and Bontle Senne call for systems designed around genuine inclusion, not token gestures. From race and disability to neurodiversity and gender, their message is clear: real equity means structural change. Spotlight Advertisers This edition is visually brought to life by our featured print advertisers — a selection of partners who reflect The European's focus on security, sustainability, travel, and strategic investment. Highlights include: · ISF on global cybersecurity preparedness. · Quellenhof Resorts and Hotel Schwarzenstein, showcasing Alpine spa destinations. · Henley & Partners, Residency Malta, and Locate Guernsey, promoting global mobility and relocation. · MESSE MÜNCHEN's The smarter E Europe, advancing the energy transition. · British Registry / Isle of Man Ship Registry, spotlighting technical maritime solutions. · Dr Kohlhase GmbH, Concerto Copenhagen, and The European Memoir Service, offering culture, finance and bespoke publishing services. The European Spring 2025 is available as an online PDF via a free subscription to the digital edition, or as a physical magazine from the website.
