  Even when the fighting is over the effects of war echo and reverberate through many generations. This collection of short stories looks at the way war shapes and changes lives, in many different ways. There is the semi-autobiographical story of a young child's encounter with his terrifying, shell-shocked grandfather; a contemporary aircraft caught up in the horrors of the Dresden bombing and the suspected appearance of a Nazi war criminal in an ordinary northern town.
