A father tries to care for a son transformed by war.

An old lady contemplates a lost past.
Frances Thimann’s beautifully written stories explore the impact of change on the lives of a vivid range of characters.
“I’m sitting there in the dark for a long time listening to him moaning, my boy Will, and it’s like it’s all connected, what’s happened with him, and the other lads which didn’t make it, the mums and dads and sweethearts, and them old pictures and carvings...’”
“Frances Thimann’s stories have a delicacy and poignancy; her characters are often fragile souls in a hard world. This is distinctive and moving writing.” Roberta Dewa
