A god in ruins : a novel / Kate Atkinson.
Follows the experiences of Ursula's younger brother Teddy, who, throughout the decades after wartime service he never expected to survive, struggles with family life against a backdrop of a changing world.
Ursula Todd's brother Teddy is an old man trying to come to grips with his post-War life and with a modern world and family. Switching back and forth in time between memories of his childhood and his present, Teddy is an oblivious husband, a rueful father. He never quite got over the War and part of him never adjusted to having a future. Would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father, and grandfather, Teddy navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world; his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have.
