Hilly's German grandmother HeidiGran comes to live with her family after she gets Alzheimer's disease; but as her mind becomes more muddled secrets from her memories of life during the Second World War start to emerge.
Why does HeidiGran keep talking about a girl called Rachel? And why does she make racist remarks about Hilly's friend Reuben?

She also falls in love for the first time.
This is a wonderfully evocative novel exploring the recurring prejudices that affect every generation.
