This book is a true story about what it is like to be married to
a war reporter and what it is like to have one for a dad. It's about being
five years old and wondering why Daddy's boots are covered in mud from a
mass grave and who was in it. It's about sitting on the sofa at home and
watching cruise missiles rain down on your father's head on telly. Then
eating your baked beans and doing your homework.

It's the story of five kids growing up in the New Europe and trying to work
out why some countries' supermarket shelves are empty and others groan with
the weight of hundreds of different loo cleaners. How do they come to terms
with the past, the present and the future especially when the battlefields
come close to home and the scars of war are not easy to heal? And how do
they work out who they are when their roots are scattered across the globe
- what shall I be today: British, French, Jewish, Irish Catholic, English
Protestant or how about Serbian or even Romanian?
