This is a powerful and moving novel which portrays the effect of the war on families to give history a human dimension. Between Two Seasons of Happiness explores the relationships between three generations of the same family--their differences in character and the difficulties in communication between them. The father longs to show his son the world; the grandfather hopes to protect both his son and his grandson from the troubles of the world, and the grandson sees the truth that the older men cannot face.

This is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel which explores the dynamics of the family and how each generation differs in its perception of events. (Ages 10 years+)
