THE SEPARATION is the story of twin brothers, rowers in the 1936 Olympics (where they met Hess, Hitler's deputy); one joins the RAF, and captains a Wellington; he is shot down after a bombing raid on Hamburg and becomes Churchill's aide-de-camp; his twin brother, a pacifist, works with the Red Cross, rescuing bombing victims in London. But this is not a straightforward story of the Second World War: this is an alternate history: the two brothers - both called J.L. Sawyer - live their lives in alternate versions of reality. In one, the Second World War ends as we imagine it did; in the other, thanks to efforts of an eminent team of negotiators headed by Hess, the war ends in 1941.
THE SEPARATION is an emotionally riveting story of how the small man can make a difference; it's a savage critique of Winston Churchill, the man credited as the saviour of Britain and the Western World, and it's a story of how one perceives and shapes the past.
War is a time when the choices of men determine the fate of nations. After winning a bronze in the coxless pairs at the Berlin Olympics, twin brothers return to England arguing bitterly over the coming Second World War. Going their separate ways Jack becomes a pilot, Joe a pacifist working for the Red Cross. As their stories play out, possibilities, parallels and confusion surround them, with each brother finding himself an ordinary man party to momentous events.
With damaged memories and personal prejudices, Joe and Jack's stories exemplify the vacuum of uncertainty in which we live, challenging the reader to confront the consequences that the choices we make have on our lives.
