{"product_id":"1745020","title":"Echoes of War","description":"89, [1] pp. The reality of war is the chill current that runs through the five stories in Westall's latest collection. In \"After the Funeral , \" the ghost of a fighter pilot returns to haunt his son in the most tangible, nerve-racking way imaginable. \"Adolf\" chronicles a boy's run-in with postwar complacency and the rewriting of history. A lighthearted episode of beach-combing becomes infused with notions of mortality in the meditative \"Gifts from the Sea.\" In \"The Making of Me,\" a man recalls a tentative friendship with his terrifying, shell-shocked grandfather. \"Zakky\" tells of a bloodthirsty war orphan and his uneasy relationship wth the county's Home Guard. The spare, direct writing makes these stories easy to read; their complexity invites rereading. This book is a timely reminder that the ramifications of war can be far-reaching. Ages 12-up.
