A sequel to Suzanne's Peace, this book is set in early 1920, and follows Suzanne, her family and friends, and some who are less than friendly. They are all negotiating the consequences of the war and the peace, the social and psychological changes for those who fought and those who did not, and grief for lost lives, lost health, destroyed land and homes, and pre war certainties. The destroyed town of Ypres, its nearby villages, the family farm and the village of Geluveld are also characters in this story of a Belgian family and the foreigners who come and go on their home soil, amid a time of great change.
