- Book Synopsis
- Morecambe Bay, Lancashire: After his father's death, a son clears out his parents' house. When he finds a series of haunting photographs of Morecambe Bay, taken by his father towards the end of his life, it sparks a journey through the scattered memories and broken connections of five generations of family history. Flowing from the vibrant post-war Jewish community of London's east end, to the quiet suburban streets of Stanmore, and back to the Lancashire coast, the story cascades down through each generation's shifting perspective. A wife appeases her charismatic yet destructive husband; a son reimagines the jigsaw of his mother's life; a granddaughter tries to heal the traumas of the past. What Fools We Have Been is an exploration of memory, identity, and the trail of damage left in the wake of wartime trauma. It asks: What is it that makes us who we are? Is it possible to repair the wreckage of the past?
