Salt by Jeremy Page

It is May 1945 and as church bells ring out Victory in Europe over the Norfolk saltmarshes, Goose's daughter Lil is born. But as Lil enters Goose's world, her father leaves it, in a makeshift boat bound - or so the story goes - for Germany, his home. 40 years later it is Lil's son, Pip, who begins to make sense of his family's fragmented history.
