Over 20,000 copies sold in Hamish Hamilton hardcover, and many more to come in this format, helped by a national press advertising campaign. Zusammenfassung Dealing - among many other things - with friendship, love, war, three cultures and three families over three generations, one brown mouse, and the tricky way the past has of coming back and biting you on the ankle, this book is written with a passion for ideas, for language and for the rich tragic-comedy of life.
