ee (tree, sea, jelly, he), ie (tie, why, night, mine, diving), oa (boat, home, bowl, no), ai (rain, day, make, raven) Nisha has crossed oceans to give her child a future. By day she cares for Petra’s daughter; at night she mothers her own little girl by the light of a phone. Nisha’s lover, Yiannis, is a poacher, hunting the tiny songbirds on their way to Africa each winter. His dreams of a new life, and of marrying Nisha, are shattered when she vanishes. Because Faulks felt that much of the extant World War I literature was deeply influenced by World War II literature, he deliberately avoided research with secondary documents, such as historical monographs, instead focusing on veteran interviews and period primary sources.

Aš tai truputį pikta dėl to amžino žmonių gobšumo, noro turėti daugiau už kitus ir to įsivaizdavimo, kad vieni yra aukštesni už kitus. Deja, bet labai retas kuris gali pasigirti tuo, kad gimė ne diskriminuojančioje visuomenėje. Retas kuris gimsta galėdamas gyventi laisvai ar apsuptas lygių galimybių. O jei dar tai moteris, tada išvis gali daug ką pamiršti, nes moteriai vos gimus jau kai kurie gyvenimo posūkiai yra sužymėti ir kelio ženklai ties jais sustatyti. We are so far away from this wise and important foundation of being. We live in a world where people are unkind, who exploit--the land, the animals, each other. We live in a world where we don't see people for who they are, and get lost so deeply within ourselves we don't even see who we are.The book has an added poignancy as it’s based on the true life disappearances of domestic workers in Cyprus.

Faulks developed the novel to bring more public awareness to the experience of war remembered by WWI veterans. Most critics found this effort successful, commenting on how the novel, like many other WWI novels, thematically focuses on how the experience of trauma shapes individual psyches. [2] Similarly, because of the parallel narratives WWI and 1970s Britain, the novel explores metahistorical questions about how to document and recover narratives about the past. Because of its genre, themes and writing style, the novel has been favourably compared to a number of other war novels, such as Ian McEwan's Atonement and those in Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy.
