Three children born in 1944. Three families marked by war; a time of terror, bombs and absences.
Three fathers: One only known to his child as the framed picture on the dresser. Another comes home safely but can't love the new child whose crying competes with his own nightmares. The third is completely unknown - only smelt and felt in the blackout by his victim, the very young woman who can't love or stay with her unwanted baby.
For the babies of 1944 the stories that were told to them and about them - and the secret thoughts that were kept from them in their earliest years - shape their sense of themselves. These stories continue to grab and cling, leaving each of them with difficult questions and choices. What will they seek, or seek to avoid, as they look for love?
When these three connect in the 1960s, the world is a changed place. People speak of peace yet there are running battles and even tanks on some streets in the West, and rockets and bombs are again setting the Far East on fire. How will the stories of their beginnings guide them in this new world?
