It's 1945, and Corporal Valentine Vere-Thissett, aged 23, is on his way home. But home is Dimperley, built in the 1500s, vast and dilapidated, up to its eaves in debt and half-full of fly-blown taxidermy and dependent relatives, the latter clinging to a way of life that has gone forever. And worst of all - following the death of his heroic older brother - Valentine is now Sir Valentine, and is responsible for the whole bloody place. To Valentine, its a millstone; to Zena Baxter, who has never really had a home before being evacuated there with her small daughter, its a place of wonder and sentiment, somewhere that she cant bear to leave. But Zena has been living with a secret, and the end of the war means she has to face a reckoning of her own Funny, sharp and touching, Small Bomb at Dimperley is both a love story and a bittersweet portrait of an era of profound loss, and renewal.
