Title: Book review : Il-qilla tal-gwerra fuq Għawdex - 1940-1943 Abstract: The general impression is that Gozo was a backwater and completely isolated from the events that characterised the second siege of Malta in 1940-1943. That this view is far from the truth emerges from the father and son detailed account of the war years in Gozo authored by Frank Bezzina and his son Charles in a new publication that has recently reached the bookstalls Il-Qilla tal-Gwerra fuq Għawdex – 1940-1943 (The ferocity of the war on Gozo).

Title: Book review : Maltese lace. History & mystery. Four centuries of Bizzilla Abstract: In a socially cosmopolitan and fast-changing society like the one we are experiencing in our islands in this contemporary age of ours, it is becoming quite difficult to say what stands out as quintessentially Maltese. Considering the phenomena of double insularity affecting the smaller island of Gozo, the attempt may present itself as slightly less difficult. In fact, if I were to be asked to mention something which reminds me instantly of my native Gozo, I would most probably refer to Gozo’s lace. A visit to a couple of Maltese websites would reveal that during the 1830’s Queen Victoria ordered sixteen pairs of long and short mittens, and a scarf from Malta. Later on, during the 1840’s she was given a piece of lace by priest Dun Ġwann Curmi, ‘tal-Grotta’ and the same happened on the occasion of her diamond jubilee when she bestowed her name on Gozo’s ancient town of Rabat.
