This book features a dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted fiction interest media & organisations.Every family has its secrets - and its lies. The Lamberts have Uncle Harry, who fought in World War I but never returned home from France.Each surviving member of the Lambert family clings to their own idea of what really happened to Uncle Harry - he died a hero's death on the battlefield; he married a beautiful French girl and settled down; he was a coward who ran from the enemy.As his great-niece struggles to put the pieces of the past back together, she discovers just how easy it is to rewrite history. Gradually things begin to fall into place - the awkward boy in turn-of-the-century Australia, the obedient son, the 40-year old bachelor, the reluctant soldier. But then she discovers that when Harry was called up to the front, he made a decision that not only changes the course of his life - but the way he sees himself.
