The Aftermath by Rhidian Brook

3.0

This book fell somewhere between a 3 and a 4. The premise was interesting and well-executed, but something left me kind of flat and I did not connect to the characters the way I expected to. I think this would make a good book group read, however, because there are a lot of things to discuss: how war changes people (or makes them more themselves), the nature of marriage, the effect of war on children. The biggest one for me: how do people manage when a war ends and your "enemies" turn back into people a lot like yourself?
