A strange book because it is written back to front. It is the story of 7 or so characters during and immediately after WW II who are all intertwined in one way or another in their diverse relationships. The first section (1947) was a struggle and rather boring I thought, but as the circumstances and stories of these characters unfold it becomes fascinating and all falls into place. For those of us who remember the war it was a trip down memory lane!
