Eleanor Hastings knew from experience that some bombs lie buried for decades before blowing up to hurt someone. Now, forty years after World War II, a cache of faded wartime letters is discovered in a cellar, causing Eleanor's husband, Frank, to understand that he really was a bastard and sending him on a quest to find out who he really is — and to uncover his family's long-buried secrets. “Children of a Good War is like a giant puzzle you think you've solved, then find more unsettling pieces. Intelligent and engrossing, hard to put down, London's best novel to date lingers in your thoughts long after you close it and turn out the lights.” — Author Joyce Faulkner, winner of the Howard-Johnson Prize for Historical Fiction Best Novel of the Year — Military Writers Society of America Best Novel of the South — Willie Morris, Finalist Best Novel with a Romantic Element — Dear Author, Finalist
