This collection of short stories includes two wartime stories based on the author's family history and a contemporary-themed short story, "Outrage". The first story, "At home with the Nazis," relates the experience of a young Russian girl and her mother in a German-occupied town during World War Two. "Deadweight," which formed a part of a previously published collection, describes another Second World War account, mostly told by a German war veteran. The last story, "Outrage," provides insight into people's thoughts and emotions in relation to a recent news story. The author welcomes reader feedback and comments.
