    Summary

    Word has spread through the camp, and the survivors have begun to stagger out of the barracks, needing to see it with their own eyes. No one has come out of this room, though, and Paddy does not understand why until he walks in and sees the colour of the inverted triangles sewn across their chests.

     

    In 1945, Paddy Mayne is involved in the Allied liberation of Bergen-Belsen.

    Summary

    There’s been a man. Augustin keeps seeing him at the edges of his vision, just around corners, sitting in the gloomy areas of rooms, blurring the background of mirrors.

    He is tall, with a laughing sort of face, a wide stretch of a mouth, and brown hair that carefully curls over one side of his head. He never talks, but he meets Augustin’s eyes over the mess when Reg does something outrageous, gives him a grin. He rolls his eyes behind Stirling’s back at roll-call, and makes Augustin tuck a smile against his chin so no one can see.

    He is always, always standing next to Paddy.

    Summary

    “What do you want, then?” she asks, voice still steady, tears not yet falling. It’s the question that Reg has been asking himself for ages — for thirteen years, for longer — but he doesn’t expect it to cut so deep falling from her lips. He had dated her because they were best friends, joined the military because that was what the men in his family did, married her because her father died and he knew his salary could help support her family, and given up his planned military career when the condom had broke the night he returned for leave and she’d informed him she would be keeping the baby. Every bit of his life has had a firm cause and effect, and his wants have never really come into it. He wants to be a good father, a good husband, a good teacher, and yet he doesn’t think that any of that is what Monica is asking him.

     

     

    Fresh off of a divorce and desperate for something new, Reg Seekings lets himself figure out, for maybe the first time in his life, what he really wants.
