"ECHOES OF THE WAR" contains four short stories. "THE OLD LADY SHOWS HER MEDALS", "THE NEW WORD", "BARBARA'S WEDDING", and "A WELL-REMEMBERED VOICE." The stories are about death and loss and the way family life tries to tame–literally, to domesticate–those painful realities. While "Peter Pan" is essentially and deliberately timeless, "Echoes of the War" is firmly anchored in the time of The Great War and the social disruptions it created.
