Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

"In unravelling the unhappy lives of members of the Beech family, the grandfather a war hero, the son a celebrated photo-journalist, the granddaughter estranged and undergoing analysis, the plot embraces the history of this century's warfare and the attempts of individuals to escape the legacy of their past....
