Echoes of War by William Riviere
Explores through the experiences of one family the impact of World Wars I and II, the beginning of the end for the British Empire, and a rural way of life now vanished. At its heart is the love affair between the son of the family and his parents' goddaughter, which begins in the interwar years.
William Riviere was born in 1954 and brought up in Norfolk. After leaving Cambridge, he spent several years in Venice, and later worked in Japan and travelled extensively around the Far East. He is the author of five novels; Watercolour Sky (winner of a Betty Trask Award); A Venetian Theory of Heaven and Earth, Eros and Psyche, Borneo Fire and Echoes of War. He is married to a painter, and teaches at the University of Urbino in Italy.
