I really need to see more people yelling about these Fairlight moderns, I've read two so far, and they've both been wins.
Small Wars in Madrid follows David as he battles with his demons after losing his entire crew at sea. He had it all until he didn't. He's come back and is struggling to deal with his feelings, creating cracks between him and his wife. He also recently found out he was adopted having been brought up Catholic, and he now finds out his birth mother is Jewish. He is struggling with his identity. He doesn't feel Jewish enough or Catholic enough. He is self-destructive and making mistakes. This story really surprised me because usually I struggle with stories based in or around warfare. It was just so human and really, really interesting. A joy to read.
