“Sitting with Anne in the park, Alice can smell the familiar scent of distant, burning eucalypt. She remembers the smell from two years earlier and if she closes her eyes it takes her back to the camp, the day Kaiser died, the afternoon they led Erich into the hospital, blackened and burned. Now she remembers his scars, the new, wrinkled pinkness that grew onto his hands and arms. Strangely, though, even when concentrating hard she can’t picture the rest of him. Only the scars.
    Are you all r...ight? Anne is concerned. Her friend is too quiet.
    I’m fine. Just remembering.
    The other woman nods and they watch the children in silence for a while.
    What are your family doing tomorrow?
    Mum is having everyone around for a traditional Christmas dinner.
    Does she know it’s going to be a hundred degrees in the shade?
    Alice answers with a smile and a shrug.MoreLess Read More Read Less
