Abroad

Summary Journalist Amy Pearce's dreams come true when she is able to transfer from her newspaper job in Toronto to London to work at its sister newspaper, the London Daily Post. The transfer was made possible by the newspapers' wealthy owner, Lord Oldenberg. Life in London does not initially turn out to be what Amy had envisioned. The Post's editor-in-chief, Max Hardman, places Amy in what is called the Fem-Post section of the newspaper - the women's issue section - under the direction of the limelight craving section editor, Jemima Whitfield Pennington Green. Jemima initially gives Amy no writing assignments, and when she eventually does, she takes the credit by inserting her own byline. And Amy hates her co-worker, Billy Marshall, the award-winning business reporter, who encourages her to go home if she doesn't like the work. Amy's personal life is only marginally better. Through her unemployed flatmates Poppy Young and Sami Rahim, Amy meets Edward Walpole, a seemingly dashing Brit. Amy, who receives mixed signals from Edward about their relationship, has one disastrous date after another with a myriad of British men while she waits for Edward to make up his mind about her. After a chat with Billy, Amy decides to take control of both her professional and personal life, which causes a bit of stir, both good and bad. The bad may ultimately cost her her livelihood, not only in London but in journalism as a career. But the aftermath at least shows Amy what she wants out of life in London, and from who to stay clear. View more details

Mangiaracina Investigazioni

Mangiaracina Investigazioni

FIRST EPISODE: Some like the heat. August night, a boat lands on a beach in Palermo. On the sand, the dead body of a woman: her face is disfigured and, in her hands, she has a ponytail. Terio Mangiaracina and the fishermen are the only witnesses and, perhaps, perpetrators of the crime. Mid-August is near and, as claimed by one of the most popular television broadcasts, you can choose any guilty and talk about it again in September. SECOND EPISODE: Neighborhood investigations Best fan of the TV show is Fana, the prosperous sister of Terio, a failed policewoman who does not miss a national thriller, who suggests to anticipate the official investigations and seek the truth independently. Thus was born the Mangiaracina Investigazioni, an abusive agency according to the casual city style. As the headquarters, the ancient kitchen, reign of the mother Assunta, is chosen. THIRD EPISODE: Love and surprises The victim was the doorwoman of an ancient building and also a well-known witch. Terio and Fana, pretending to be aspiring doormen, move to work there. But to the complicated crime another is added, while Terio is lost in a love that, according to his sister, takes away him all lucidity. Fortunately, the policeman cousin Nofrio, emigrated back to his homeland, helps him. FOURTH EPISODE: Family gift Between evil eyes, betrayals and amorous vertigo, everything gets complicated. Terio receives a nasty surprise, while the clues and the ramshackle sensations get stuck in his mind, also thanks to his mother Assunta, until the improvised investigator arrives at the truth. It will not be as sweet as he hoped but, for his sister Fana, it will be the beginning of a new career.
