"Nick's grandfather Geordie lies dying. As Nick watches, Geordie relives the horrors surrounding his brother's death. Meanwhile the children, who have been organized into decorating the living room, peel away the wallpaper to reveal an obscene portrait of an Edwardian family."

I really enjoy Pat Barker's writing. I read this book in one sitting, unable to put it down.

I haven't a clue what I have done with this book! I can't remember releasing it, but I can't find it! I have changed its status to travelling and maybe it will turn up!
