Description: "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 - 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 hundreds of different loo cleaners. How do they come to terms with the past, the present and the future, especially when the ghosts of Auschwitz 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 continent - what shall I be today: British, French, Jewish, Irish Catholic, English Protestant or how about Serbian or even Romanian?"--BOOK JACKET.
